Stereochemistry of transition metal catalyzed asymmetric intramolecular allyl transfer in chiral α-sulfinyl allylic esters

The stereochemistry of palladium or nickel catalyzed asymmetric intramolecular allyl transfer in chiral α-sulfinyl allylic esters was determined. The participation of the catalyst and the chiral sulfinyl functionality in these transformations, presumably by the coordination of the sulfinyl group to the catalyst, is discussed, and a novel mechanism is proposed for the rationalization of the results obtained.
