Asymmetric Synthesis Catalyzed by Chiral Ferrocenylphosphine-Transition-Metal Complexes. 5. Palladium-Catalyzed Asymmetric Allylation of Active Methine Compounds

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00236a023

Catalytic asymmetric allylation of sodium enolates of β-diketones with allyl acetate proceeded with high enantioselectivity in the presence of 0.5-1.0 mol percent of palladium complexes as catalysts bearing functionalized chiral ferrocenylphosphine ligand
