Convenient and efficient protocol for isomerization of allylbenzenes into corresponding β-methylstyrenes has been developed. Different acids, solvents and catalysts have been investigated. Pd(TFA)2 and TsOH·H2O as catalysts in dichloromethane at room temperature under air for 12 h were selected as standard conditions for exploring the substrate scope. Allylbenzenes containing electron-donating groups and electron-withdrawing groups were working under the optimized condition, and β-methylstyrene products were obtained in the yields of 65%~90%. The reaction mechanism was proposed according to the deuterated experiment.

Key words: isomerization, allylbenzene, β-methylstyrene, palladium-catalyzed
