title: Regio- and stereoselective allylic C-H arylation with electron-deficient arenes by 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol-palladium cooperation.
abstract: A palladium-catalyzed allylic C-H arylation reaction with electron-deficient arenes with high regio- and stereoselectivity is reported. This work represents the first successful use of 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol as the ancillary ligand in allylic C-H activation, which is the key factor for chemoselectivity. Furthermore, high selectivity allylic C-H acetoxylation and amination were also successfully achieved under the same catalytic system.
