title: Decarboxylative allylations of ester enolate equivalents.
abstract: A variety of ester enolate equivalents are generated in situ and undergo α-allylation in high yields via palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative allylation. The transformations are complete within very short reaction times under ambient conditions. Synthesis of α-allylated acyl derivatives provides access to other carboxylic acid and alcohol derivatives via acyl group substitution or reduction.
