When unsaturated amines are carbonylated in the presence of Co2(CO)8, N-alkyl pyrrolidinones are obtained. Carbonylation of allyl halides in the presence of primary amines and a rhodium compound affords the same products....If allyl derivatives are carbonylated in the presence of acetylene by means of Ni(CO)4 and water or methanol at 20 °C, the acetylene adds onto the allyl halide and 2-cis-5-dienoic acids or esters or sorbic acid esters are obtained.
Disubstitution of barbituric acids at the 5-position is only possible with highly reactive halides, such as allyl halides.
Halogen-containing allyl complexes can often be prepared simply from reactions of allyl halides with metal compounds.
