Abstract

The ability to use aliphatic alcohols as competent nucleophiles in the palladium-catalyzed dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation of Baylis-Hillman adducts is explored. High yield and enantioselectivity is obtained for both the kinetic transformation and dynamic kinetic transformation. The absolute stereochemistry of the products is used to explore the reactive conformation of 2-substituted π-allyl complexes with DPPBA-based chiral ligands. The ...
