The direct coupling of allyl alcohols with nitroalkanes, nitriles, and aldehydes using catalytic Pd(PPh3)(4) has been accomplished via activation of C-OH bonds with CO2. The in situ formation of carbonates from alcohols and CO2 facilitates oxidative addition to Pd to form reactive pi-allylpalladium intermediates. In addition, the formation of a strong base activates nucleophiles toward the reaction with the pi-allylpalladium electrophile. Overall, this atom economical reaction provides a new C-C bond without the use of an external base and generates water as the only byproduct.
