Abstract Chiral imidate–phosphanes were developed as a new type of N, P ligands. These ligands are easily accessible through a one-step procedure starting from a commercially available chiral aminophosphane and an imidate precursor. Excellent performance of the catalyst system was observed with various carbon nucleophiles in the Pd 0-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation (up to 99% yield and> 99% ee). Moreover, good to excellent ...
