14. In general, Pd-catalyzed allylic substitutions with 'soft' nucleophiles involve nucleophilic attack directly on the allyl unit, on the opposite face to that occupied by the metal. This is contrasted with the situation for 'hard' nucleophiles where the initial attack occurs at the metal, with subsequent migration of the nucleophile to the allyl moiety-the addition to the allyl unit therefore occurring from the same face as the metal. Obviously, this has profound implications on the stereochemical outcome.
