Palladium‐Catalyzed Electrophilic Substitution via Monoallylpalladium Intermediates

Abstract

Nucleophilic rather than electrophilic reactivity is ascribed to the allyl moiety in (η1-allyl)palladium complexes such as 1, which are generated catalytically from allylstannanes and a palladium pincer complex and react smoothly with aldehydes.
