Abstract

A room temperature Pd-catalyzed allylic substitution of a wide range of soft nucleophiles derived from diarylmethane provides rapid access to the corresponding allylated products. A procedure for Pd-catalyzed allylic substitutions to afford diallylation products with quaternary centers is also described.
