In an enolate Claisen rearrangement, deprotonated allyl phenylacetate undergoes a smooth conversion at –78 °C to 2‐phenyl‐4‐pentenoic acid under palladium(0) catalysis. By using labelled starting materials in crossover experiments, the reaction is shown to follow a dissoziative, non‐concerted, non‐[3,3]‐sigmatropic mechanism that involves palladium complexes and carboxylic‐acid dianions as intermediates.
