Site-switchable mono-O-allylation of polyols

Selective manipulation of one functional group, out of many repeatedly occurring in a substrate, represents a grand challenge in chemistry. Here, the authors report a Pd/Lewis acid cocatalytic system that achieves not only site-selective, but also site-switchable mono-O-allylation of polyols.
