title: Synthesis of allyl selenides by palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative coupling.
abstract: This communication details the Pd-catalyzed decarboxylation of selenocarbonates; use of a chiral nonracemic catalyst affords enantioenriched allyl selenides which undergo stereospecific [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangements to form enantioenriched allylic amines and chlorides.
