A [Ru(<i>p</i>-cymene)Cl<sub>2</sub>]<sub>2</sub> catalyst activates allyl alcohols and ethers for the regioselective <i>ortho</i>-C-H allylation of aromatic and heteroaromatic carboxylates. The reaction is orthogonal to most C-H functionalisations with allyl alcohols in that allyl arenes rather than carbonyl compounds are obtained. A wide range of substrates are thus smoothly transformed to allylarenes at 50 °C in phosphate-buffered 2,2,2-trichloroethanol. The reaction concept combines the use ...[more]
