Abstract

Rhodium-catalyzed C–H allylation of acrylamides with allyl acetates is reported. The use of weakly coordinating directing group resulted in high reaction efficiency, broad functionality tolerance and excellent γ-selectivity, which opens a new synthetic pathway for the access of 1,4-diene skeletons.
