Abstract
The reaction of 2-chloroallyl acetate with a mixture of sodium diethyl methylmalonate and sodium phenoxide in the presence of a platinum(0) complex as a catalyst gave a product having the carbon nucleophile at the central carbon atom of the π-allyl ligand and the oxygen nucleophile at the terminal carbon atom. The key process of this reaction is the nucleophilic substitution at the central carbon atom of the π-allyl ligand. Further examples of nucleophilic substitution at the central and terminal carbon atoms of a π-allyl ligand were demonstrated for the case of a palladium(0) complex as the catalyst.
