Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Pd-catalyzed Enantioselective Alkylation with C2-symmetric Chiral Nitrogen Ligands

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0957-4166(95)00136-D

Several allylic acetates have been enantioselectively substituted by alkylation using (C₂-symmetric chiral diamine)-Pd complexes or (pseudo C₂-symmetric chiral polymer)-Pd complexes with up to 95percent and 80percent ee respectively.
