with various carboxylates and amines in the presence of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) catalyst to give the corresponding gamma-fluoroalkylated (E)-allylic alcoholderivatives and amines, respectively, in excellent yields. In almost all cases, no other regio- and stereoisomers were produced. Application of this palladium-catalyzedallylic substitution reaction to various nonracemic mesylates
