A modular approach for ligand design for asymmetric allylic alkylations via enantioselective palladium-catalyzed ionizations

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ja00050a013

A new class of ligands for asymmetric transition metal catalysis based on 2-(diphenylphosphino)benzoic acid was used in a mechanistically-defined palladium-catalyzed reaction in which enantiodifferentiation was the result of selective ionization of substr
