Significance
Cheong, Buchwald, and co-workers report the first completely linear-selective palladium-catalyzed Negishi cross-coupling of various 3,3-disubstituted allylzinc reagents with (hetero)aryl and vinyl (pseudo)halides, leading to prenylated (hetero)aryl and alkenyl compounds in high yield and with excellent regioselectivity.

Comment
Apart from (hetero)aryl and vinyl bromides and chlorides, nonaflates and triflates were successfully used in this protocol. Computational studies reveal that an η1-α reductive elimination is preferred due to energetic reasons, leading exclusively to the prenylated products. Thus, the choice of catalyst and transmetalation reagent is crucial.
