Abstract

The combination of Pd catalyst and Xantphos ligand in the presence of Et(3)B nicely promotes the allylation of aldehydes with conjugated dienes to provide dienyl homoallyl alcohols in excellent yields. The reaction occurs selectively at the C-C double bond bearing higher electron density.
