A possible way to control the course of hydride transfer in allylation of norbornadiene in the presence of palladium phosphine catalysts

Abstract

Features of allylation of norbornadiene (NBD) with allyl formate were investigated in the presence of Pd catalysts. In addition to the products of single or double allylation and hydroallylation of NBD, the products of secondary transformations, hydration and hydroformylation, have been found. An effect of triphenylphosphine on the reaction direction was studied.
