Palladium-catalysed allylic alkylation of allylic nitro compounds with stabilized carbanions

Abstract
In the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd(PPh3)4, allylic nitro compounds (1) undergo allylic alkylation with stabilized carbanions to give a mixture of two regio-isomers (2) and (3). The product ratio (2) : (3) is controlled both by the nature of the substituents of π-allyl unit and the steric factors of the nucleophiles and ligands.
