Abstract

Abstract AgOTf is an effective catalyst for intermolecular allylation of aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds with allylic alcohols affording allylated arenes in up to 99% yields. Heterogeneous allylation of arenes catalyzed by Ag 3 PW 12 O 40 gave comparable product yields to those obtained by AgOTf. Ag 3 PW 12 O 40 could be reused five times with slightly decreased activity.
