Nickel and palladiumcomplexes with the 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene ligand effectively catalyze regioselective cross-coupling of allylic ethers such as 1- or 3-methyl-2-propenyl silyl ethers with aryl-Grignard reagents, where the nickel catalyst leads to carbon—carbonbondformation at the more substituted position while carbon–carbon bondformation occurs at the less substituted position
