Abstract

[RhCl (1, 5-cod)] 2/PTA is highly active branch-selective catalyst for C-allylation of acetylacetone by allylic carbonates in water/ethyl acetate biphasic system, where either crotyl or 1-methylallyl carbonates gives sterically congested branched allylation product, suggesting formation of a common allylrhodium intermediate.
