The triphenyl phosphite-palladium complex was found to effect catalytic substitution reactions of allylic alcohols via a direct C-O bond cleavage. The dehydrative etherification proceeded efficiently without any cocatalysts and bases to give allylic ethers in good to excellent yields.

The palladium-triphenyl phosphite catalyst efficiently promotes dehydrative allylation of allylic alcohols, resulting in good to excellent yields of allylic ethers without cocatalysts and bases.
