[PdCl2(MeCN)2]‐Catalyzed Highly Regio‐ and Stereoselective Allylation of Electron‐Rich Arenes with 2,3‐Allenoates

Selective allylation: Several electron-donating arenes such as 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene, anisole, and phenol underwent palladium-catalyzed selective allylation in TFA/dimethylacetamide (DMA) under mild conditions with 2,3-allenoates (see scheme). The reaction afforded substituted 4,4-diarylbut-2(E)-enoates in moderate yields with high regio- and stereoselectivity.
