Kinetic resolution in palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylations by a P,O ligand system.

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ol0161256

[reaction: see text] Through the investigation of peptide-based phosphine oxazoline ligands, a simple P,O ligand system was developed. This system provides palladium complexes that are capable of a very high degree of kinetic resolution of 1,3-diphenylpro
