Abstract

Enantioselective allylic substitution catalyzed by transitionmetal complexes is an important process in organic synthesis.[1] For many years, mainly palladium complexes that contain chiral ligands have been employed as efficient catalysts in these reactions. Recent studies have demonstrated that chiral catalysts based on other transition metals show different regioselectivity in the synthesis of branched allylic products via monosubstituted π-allyl ...
