Allylic arylation of allylic acetates by sodium tetraarylborates in the presence of ppb to ppm (molar) loadings of a palladium NNC-pincer complex catalyst in methanol at 50 °C gave the corresponding arylated products in excellent yields. Total turnover numbers of up to 500 000 000 and turnover frequencies of up to 11 250 000 h−1 were achieved.
