title: Regioswitchable Palladium-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Coupling of 1,3-Dicarbonyl Compounds.
abstract: A palladium-catalyzed chemo- and regioselective coupling of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds via an allylic linker has been developed. This reaction, which displays broad substrate scope, forms two C-C bonds and installs two all-carbon quaternary centers. The regioselectivity of the reaction can be predictably controlled by utilizing an enol carbonate of one of the coupling partners.
