Herein we report the development of an α-allylation reaction of α-boryl aldehydes that preserves the carbon–boron bond under Pd0/PdII catalysis. A variety of α-boryl aldehydes and allylic alcohols participate in this chemoselective transformation. The α-allylated products were obtained as single regioisomers.
