The challenge of controlling the regiochemistry of palladiumcatalyzed allylic substitution by choice of ancillary ligand has a long history. Much attention has been focused on controlling regiochemistry because formation of the more substituted product could be developed into a mild route to sec-and even tert-alkylamines (Scheme 1). kermark and co-workers reported that attack can occur at the more substituted position of a prenyl complex, but that the ...
