title: Pd-catalyzed olefination of furans and thiophenes with allyl esters.
abstract: A direct Pd(II)-catalyzed olefination of furans and thiophenes with allyl esters is demonstrated. Under the typical conditions, the dehydrogenative Heck coupling reactions of heteroarenes with allylic esters proceeded via a β-H elimination rather than a β-OAc elimination to give the corresponding γ-substituted allylic esters.
