Application of AMPP-Pd catalysts in an unusual asymmetric allylic coupling reaction of 1-trimethylsilyl vinyl magnesium bromide
Unusual palladium catalyzed allylation of a silylated Grignard reagent by cyclohexenyl acetate gives in high yields a versatile synthon, 3-(1-trimethyisilyl vinyl) cyclohexene; use of chiral AMPP ligands results in e.e. up to 33 %.
