Pd(OAc)<sub>2</sub>/P(<i><sup>c</sup></i>C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>11</sub>)<sub>3</sub>-Catalyzed Allylation of Aryl Halides with Homoallyl Alcohols via Retro-Allylation
fashion via a conformationally regulated six-membered cyclic transition state, the allylation reactions are highly regio- and stereospecific when homoallyl alcohols having a substituted allyl group are used. Whereas triarylphosphine is known to serve as a ligand for the palladium-catalyzed allyl transfer reactions, tricyclohexylphosphine proves to significantly expand the scopes of aryl halides to electron-rich
