ENANTIOSELECTIVE HYDROGENATION AND ALLYLIC SUBSTITUTION
847
TABLE 2. Pd-catalysed allylic substitution of (E)-1,3-diphe- amidite 5 was achieved in the allylic alkylation of 8 with
nylallyl acetate 8 (208C)
dimethyl malonate as the C-nucleophile (Table 2, entries
3–18). Interestingly, the precatalyst Pd(CF CO ) pro-

vides a comparable conversion but considerably smaller
asymmetric induction in comparison with [Pd(allyl)Cl]2.
At the same time, with the participation of [Pd(allyl)Cl]2,
fairly good levels of conversion (85–100%) and enantiose-
lectivity (80–90%) were achieved, almost irrespective of
both the L/Pd molar ratio and the nature of the solvent.
CONCLUSION
In summary, we have prepared and characterized an
original (S)-6-Br-BINOL-derived C -symmetric phosphora-

midite ligand that exposes a phosphorus stereocenter. It is
a very efficient ligand in the Rh-catalyzed hydrogenation
and Pd-catalyzed allylic alkylation. Moreover, the concept
of ligands design presented above looks very promising.
