A palladium-catalyzed allylic C−H oxidative allylation of N-tosylhydrazones to synthesize skipped 1,4-dienes is demonstrated. This direct allylic alkylation reaction has excellent site selectivity, tolerates a wide range of functional groups, and affords 1,4-dienes in moderate to good yield. Moreover, this olefination method allows the regio- and stereoselective synthesis of 1,4-dienes containing a
