Asymmetric exchange of cyclopalladated ligands: A new route to optically active phosphapalladacycles
An asymmetric version of the cyclopalladated ligand exchange reaction was developed. This procedure involves the use of prochiral phosphines in an aprotic medium. A benzylaminate palladacycle bearing the primary amino group and the bulky But substituent at the C*stereo-center serves as a chirality inductor. Springer Science+Business Media, Inc. 2006.
