Direct allylation of aromatic and α,β-unsaturated carboxamides under ruthenium catalysis

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Oct 7;50(77):11303-6. doi: 10.1039/c4cc03354j.

Abstract

The ruthenium-catalyzed oxidative allylation of aromatic and α,β-unsaturated carboxamides with allylic carbonates is described. These transformations proceed readily with complete linear γ-selectivity of substituted allylic carbonates.
