34. Attempts at developing the Pd(0)-catalyzed reaction of allylic esters with silyl enol ethers derived from simple ketones, as an extension of the established reactions with stabilized C-nucleophiles, have only met with modest success. In the examples reported to date, the more reactive carbonates (rather than acetates) have been employed and some of these reactions seem to work efficiently only as intramolecular processes: (a) Tsuji, J.; Minami, I.; Shimizu, I.
