Regioselective molybdenum-catalyzed allylic substitution of tertiary allylic electrophiles: methodology development and applications

The first molybdenum-catalyzed allylic sulfonylation of tertiary allylic electrophiles is described. The method employs a readily accessible catalyst (Mo(CO) 6 /2,2′-bipyridine, both are commercially available) and represents the first example of the use of a group 6 transition metal-catalyst for al...
