Intra/Intermolecular Direct Allylic Alkylation via Pd(II)-Catalyzed Allylic C−H Activation

Abstract

The first catalytic direct alkylation of allylic C-H bonds via Pd(II)-catalysis is described in the absence of base. Polysubstituted cyclic compounds can also be constructed by the intramolecular direct allylic alkylation.
