Abstract

This account presents recent progress in palladium-­catalyzed Heck-type reactions of allyl esters with aryl halides, arylmetallic reagents, or arenes. Many improvements have been achieved to control the regioselectivity of β-hydride or β-acetoxy elimination.

1 Introduction

2 Palladium-Catalyzed Heck-Type Coupling of Allyl Esters with Aryl Halides

4 Palladium-Catalyzed Heck-Type Coupling of Allyl Esters with Arenes via Aromatic C-H Activation

5 Other Transition Metal Catalyzed Heck-Type Reactions of Allyl Esters

6 Conclusion
