Article: Organometallic chemistry.(Brief Article)

Palladium catalysts can be used in different ways to mediate substitution of aryl C-H atoms with C-C groups. This section of Highlights begins with two such methods. The first is a classical telomerisation of dienes, via intermediates (1-3), followed by nucleophilic attack of phenols on the [pi]-ally1 component of (3) (A Krotz, F Vollmuller, G Stark and M Beller, Chem. Commun., 2001, 195). O-Arylation and C-arylation products such as (4) and (5) are formed (see Figure 1). The authors suggest this is due to the ambidentate nature of the nucleophile, but no evidence has been presented to rule out the possibility of a 3,3-sigmatropic rearrangement of the O-arylation product, ...
