title: Nickel-catalyzed C-H coupling with allyl phosphates: a site-selective synthetic route to linear allylarenes.
abstract: It is reported that a nickel/phosphine catalyst allows the C-H allylation to occur effectively with the allyl site selectivity predominantly governed by steric effects. This reaction provides a facile and predictable route for the selective preparation of linear allylarenes from readily available benzamides and allyl phosphates.
