Abstract

Abstract The use of the Pd (dba) 1 2/dpe catalytic system in allylic alkylation allows sodium dimethyl malonate to react with allylic acetates at room temperature. According to this procedure, a novel synthesis of allylic substituted cyclopentadienes is described through the use of cyclopentadienide anion as a nucleophile.
