title: Rhodium(iii)-catalyzed C-H allylation of electron-deficient alkenes with allyl acetates.
abstract: Rhodium-catalyzed C-H allylation of acrylamides with allyl acetates is reported. The use of weakly coordinating directing group resulted in high reaction efficiency, broad functionality tolerance and excellent γ-selectivity, which opens a new synthetic pathway for the access of 1,4-diene skeletons.
