Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Product of the given allylic alkylation reaction has to be written.

Concept Introduction:

In catalytic allylic alkylation, a nucleophile, enolate of a doubly activated $\text{α-}$ carbon replaces an allylic leaving group, such as acetate. The reaction occurs in presence of $Pd$ as the catalyst.

Stereochemistry at the alkylation carbon is retained.
