Abstract
A nucleophilic N-heterocyclic carbene has been successfully used in a Pd(0)-catalyzed allylic substitution for the first time. It was found that allylic substitution with a soft nucleophile using a Pd-carbene catalyst proceeds via retention of configuration, the stereochemical reaction pathway being the same as that of the reaction using a Pd-phosphine complex.
