Although some reports highlight using aryl nucleophiles with catalysts based on other transition metals these methods typically need an aryl-substituted allylic electrophile to afford good reactivity and/or enantioselectivity. It is important to develop versatile stereoselective allylic arylation methods because the field lacks useful methods for using (hetero)aryl nucleophiles to access important branched allylic products, and known methods are not robust enough to be used in complex molecule synthesis beyond the preparation of relatively simple building blocks.
