A new palladium‐catalyzed decarboxylative allylation of allyl α‐trifluoromethyl‐β‐keto esters was developed in the presence of tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium [Pd2(dba)3] and 1,2‐bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe) in tetrahydrofuran. α‐Trifluoromethyl ketones featuring a quaternary carbon center were produced in good yields and the dreaded α,β‐unsaturated‐β,β‐difluoro ketones resulting from β‐elimination of a fluoride ion was not observed.
