Abstract

An efficient method for Pd-catalyzed stereospecific allyl-aryl coupling of allylic alcohols with arylboronic acids has been described. The reactions proceeded smoothly in the presence of Pd2(dba)3·CHCl3 and racemic BINAP under mild and neutral conditions, affording allyl-aryl coupling products in moderate to high yields with excellent stereospecificities.
