Microwave-enhanced Pd(0)/acetic acid catalyzed allylation reactions of C, N, and O-pronucleophiles with alkynes

An efficient method for the allylation of C, N, and O-nucleophiles with alkynes under solvent-free conditions and by microwave activation is established. The process can be termed as a real eco-chemical process since no waste elements are produced in the reaction, moreover it is solvent free. This technique can also be used for the allylation of dimethyl methylmalonate, which proves inert under the previously reported reaction conditions (refluxing in 1,4-dioxane).
