Graphical Abstract
Caught in the act: A series of unique η1-allyl palladium complexes of four-membered cyclic systems bearing β-hydrogens were prepared (see structure). Their unusual structure, reactivity, and unprecedented propensity for undergoing pericyclic reactions were uncovered.

- 10The mechanism accounting for the formation of trans-5 upon reaction of 3 with the malonate nucleophile is intriguing. One might consider coordination of the anion followed by reductive elimination, a pathway that has, to the best of our knowledge, never been observed for allylic alkylations with stabilized (“soft”) nucleophiles. Alternatively, inversion at the metal-bonded carbon should precede nucleophilic attack. Attempts to assess this situation have been unproductive thus far.
