The polymer-bound palladium catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of allylic alcohols with hypervalent iodonium sails to form carbon-carbon bonds was achieved at room temperature under extremely mild and aqueous conditions even in the absence of base with very high activity in the Stille coupling reaction. The polymeric catalyst can be easily separated from a reaction mixture and reused more than 10 times with no decrease in activity.
