Palladium(II)-Catalyzed Deacylative Allylic C-H Alkylation

The first deacylative allylic C-H alkylation has been established by employing the palladium-catalyzed allylic C-H activation and decarboxylative nucleophile generation. A wide scope of nucleophiles are tolerated and densely functionalized alkylation products turn out to be furnished in moderate to good yield. More importantly, this strategy provides an alternative method for the allylic C-H alkylation with less stabilized carbon nucleophiles, and can be further expanded to the synthesis of unconjugated enynes.
