Abstract

In contrast to almost all of the known examples of Heck arylation of unsaturated alcohols, which yield predominately β-arylated products, arylation under the Pd-DPPP catalysis in ionic liquid leads preferentially to aryl substitution at the α carbon, providing an easy pathway to this valuable class of olefins.
