The palladium‐catalyzed oxidative Heck‐type allylation of β,β‐disubstituted enones, i.e., α‐oxoketene dithioacetals, was efficiently realized with allyl carbonates, providing a concise route to highly functionalized dienes. The present synthetic methodology utilizes the substrate activation strategy to activate the C H bond of β,β‐disubstituted enones by introduction of a 1,2‐dithiolane functionality to make the enone substrate highly polarized and thus increase its reactivity, demonstrating rare examples for transition metal‐catalyzed allylic substitution of ß,ß‐disubstituted enones through a Heck‐type allylation process.
