Pd-Catalyzed Photoinduced Interceptive Decarboxylative Allylation

Abstract

Herein, we describe a photoinduced Pd-catalyzed interceptive decarboxylative allylation of allyl esters. Our protocol provides a new gateway to enable atom pair swaps or a series of contractions and elongations, thus offering unconventional disconnections and a modular yet broadly applicable tool for rapidly and reliably accessing sp3 architectures in drug discovery.
