15. In the reaction of Pd-catalyzed decarboxylative allylic alkylation of ketones to generate tertiary centers, the reaction mechanisms of allyl enol carbonates and that of allyl β-keto esters may be different: Intermediate I from enol carbonates can only undergo decarboxylation to afford Pd enolate II which recombines to the product. Intermediate III from β-keto esters, however, may undergo a facile H-shift to generate IV depending on the acidity of the α-proton. IV recombines to a β-keto acid V, which decarboxylates to the product. Therefore, allyl β-keto esters cannot completely replace enol allyl carbonates in this reaction. See: (a) Tsuji, J.; Minami, I.
