Carboallylation of Electron-Deficient Alkenes with Organoboron Compounds and Allylic Carbonates by Cooperative Palladium/Copper Catalysis.

The aryl- and alkylallylation of electron-deficient alkenes was achieved by cooperative palladium/copper catalysis. The reaction affords various carbon skeletons from readily available alkenes, allylic carbonates, and organoboron compounds, whereby a variety of functional groups such as acetyl, alkoxycarbonyl, bromo, and cyano moieties are tolerated well.
