[reaction: see text] The combination of catalytic palladium(0) and Trost ligand provides an effective catalyst for the rearrangement of allyl beta-ketoesters. The mechanism of the transformation involves formation of pi-allyl palladium intermediates which undergo enantioselective attack by ketone enolates. Decarboxylation of beta-ketocarboxylates allows regiospecific generation of enolates under extremely mild conditions.
