Allylic esters of heteroaromatic alkanes undergo facile palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative coupling. The resulting CC bond is formed with high diastereoselectivity and high regioselectivity for coupling at the more substituted allyl terminus. It is proposed that this unusual combination of selectivities results from a tandem allylation/aza-Cope rearrangement sequence. After allylation, decarboxylative dearomatization produces an ...
