Intra/intermolecular direct allylic alkylation via Pd(II)-catalyzed allylic C-H activation
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.
