Abstract

Allyl-aryl coupling between allylic acetates and arylboronic acids took place in the presence of catalytic amounts of Pd(OAc)2, 1,10-phenanthroline, and AgSbF6 with high γ-selectivity and E:Z-selectivity. The reaction of an optically active allylic acetate with an α-stereogenic center proceeded with excellent α-to-γ chirality transfer.
