Asymmetric allylic substitution reactions between 1,3-diphenyl-2-propenyl acetate and various hetero nucleophiles were efficiently carried out using the catalysts derived from the monodentate phosphine ligands, (1R, 2S, 5R, 6S)-2,6-dimethyl-9-phenyl-9-phosphabicyclo[3.3.1] nonane and its enantiomer ((-)- and (+)-9-PBNs), and palladium (0).
