The palladium-catalyzed reactions of various allylic compounds with carbonucleophiles are well-established and useful synthetic methods.'We have shown that the allylation of carbonucleophiles can be carried out under neutral conditions by using allylic carbonate^?^ In contrast to the extensive studies on the palladium-catalyzed reactions of allylic compounds, very few studies have been carried out on the palladium-catalyzed reactions ...
