Abstract
Regioselectivity in the palladium-catalysed allylic alkylation of 1-ar ylprop-2-enyl acetates [ArCH(OAc)CH=CH2] or (E)-3-phenylprop-2-enyl ac etate (PhCH=CHCH2OAc) with sodium enolates of soft carbon nucleophiles is controlled by addition of a catalytic amount of lithium iodide to give lienar products [O-ArCH=CHCH(2)Nu] exclusively; their branch isom ers [ArCH(Nu)CH=CH2] were not detected.
