title: Allylation of N-heterocycles with allylic alcohols employing self-assembling palladium phosphane catalysts.
abstract: The first palladium catalyst system that allows the direct allylation of indoles with allylic alcohols as substrates with water being the only byproduct is presented. The application of self-assembling ligands based on complementary hydrogen bonding was the key to success.
