A Pd-catalyzed 1,3-difunctionalization of terminal alkenes using 1,1-disubstituted alkenyl nonaflates and arylboronic acid coupling partners is reported. This transformation affords allylic arene products that are difficult to selectively access using traditional Heck cross-coupling methodologies. The evaluation of seldom employed 1,1-disubstituted alkenyl nonaflate coupling partners led to the elucidation of subtle mechanistic features of π-allyl stabilized Pd-intermediates. Good stereo- and regioselectivity for the formation of 1,3-addition products can be accessed through a minimization of steric interactions that emanate from alkenyl nonaflate substitution.
