To develop environmentally benign processes for C-C bond formation, electrochemistry is applied in a tin-mediated allylation reaction in water. In this electrochemical process, the corresponding homoallylic alcohols are prepared in excellent yields, while both tin salt and water can be recycled and electrode materials are not consumed.
