Abstract

The reaction of allylic alcohols with carbon pronucleophiles in the presence of the Pd (PPh3) 4/carboxylic acid combined catalytic system, under neat conditions (without an organic solvent or without water as the solvent) enabled the direct allylation of the pronucleophiles, giving the corresponding allylated products in high yields.
