The palladium-catalyzed allylation is a powerful tool for C–C, C–N, and C–O bond formation, which<br />

has been widely applied to organic chemistry. We have recently disclosed a new catalytic system for<br />

palladium/carboxylic acid–catalyzed allylation with allylic alcohols in water as a suspension medium. 1<br />

Organic reactions in water have recently attracted much attention, because water is a safe and<br />

economical substitute for conventional organic solvent. Herein, we report that palladium-catalyzed<br />

ally-OH bond cleavage in the absence <strong>of</strong> activating agents. Allylation <strong>of</strong> cyclic 1,3-diones worked well<br />

with aromatic allylic alcohols in water and gave generally good to high yields. This is a simple and<br />

efficient route for C–C bond formation.<br />
