20. The use of ligands sometimes leads to a shift in the regioisomer ratio towards the branched products; for example, see: J. W. Fuller, J. C. Wilt, J. Parr, Org. Lett. 2004, 6, 1301.
21. The character of the metal influences the regiochemical course of allylic alkylations. Ruthenium, molybdenum, rhodium, tungsten, and iridium catalysts often lead to the formation of the branched product, regardless of the substitution pattern of the starting material.
