Abstract

Palladium-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation of allyl phosphates proceeds with high efficiency affording the corresponding β, γ-unsaturated esters stereoselectively with inversion of configuration at the allylic carbon center. Palladium complexes bearing chiral monodentate phoshine ligands are effective catalysts for asymmetric allylic carbonylation of cyclohex-2-en- 1-yl phosphates 1 to give optically active cyclohex-2-ene-1-carboxylates 2 in moderate ...
