An efficient method for Pd-catalyzed stereospecific allyl‒aryl coupling of allylic alcohols with arylboronic acid has been described. The reactions proceeded smoothly in the presence of Pd₂(dba)₃•CHCl₃ and racemic BINAP under mild and neutral conditions, affording allyl‒aryl coupling products in moderate to high yields with excellent stereospecificities.
