title: Metal-free, regio- and stereoselective synthesis of linear (E)-allylic compounds using C, N, O, and S nucleophiles.
abstract: A variety of allylic acetates and derivatives were synthesized by an efficient two-step protocol that employs readily available terminal alkenes as starting materials. This method is highly regio- and stereoselective, affording the linear (E)- isomer as the sole adduct. This process tolerates several functional groups including halogen-containing molecules, and it is general for weak oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur nucleophiles. Furthermore, adducts were obtained in good to excellent yields.
