Summary:Pd0‐catalyzed Mizoroki–Heck reactions traditionally exhibit poor reactivity with polysubstituted, unbiased alkenes. Intermolecular reactions with simple, all‐carbon tetrasubstituted alkenes are unprecedented. Herein we report that pendant carboxylic acids, combined with bulky monophospine ligands on palladium, can direct the arylation of tri‐ and tetrasubstituted olefins. Quaternary carbons are established at high Fsp3 attached‐ring junctures and the carboxylate directing group can be removed after coupling. Carboxylate directivity prevents over‐arylation of the new, less substituted alkene, which can be diversified in subsequent reactions. Die Arylierung von tri‐ und tetrasubstituierten Olefinen wird von den Carbonsäure‐Substituenten im selben Molekül dirigiert. Quartäre C‐Atome werden an Ringverknüpfungen mit hohem sp3‐Anteil installiert, und das dirigierende Carboxylat kann nach der Kupplung entfernt werden. Die Carboxylatsteuerung verhindert eine Überarylierung des neuen, weniger substituierten Alkens, das in Folgereaktionen diversifiziert werden kann.
