Optically active sulfoximines in enantioselective palladium catalysis

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4039(96)00762-9

Chiral sulfoximine/Pd-complexes catalyze enantioselective allylic alkylations. The corresponding products have been obtained in good yields with moderate enantioselectivities (up to 73% ee). The crystal structure of an allyl/Pd(II)-complex bearing a chelating sulfoximine is reported.
