Abstract

Abstract The allylation of electron-rich arenes with allyl tosylate proceeded at 0 C in the presence of [Rh (nbd)(CH 3 CN) 2] PF 6. Various oxygenated arenes were allylated with high para-selectivity in almost all cases. Especially in the reaction of anisoles, the tendency was remarkable.
