Abstract

Four new chiral pyridino-and quinolino-oxazolines were subjected to the palladium- catalyzed alkylation of 1, 3-diphenyl-2-propenyl acetate. The enantioselectivity varied (82– 88% ee) with the steric properties of the ligands. The results are discussed in connection with results previously obtained using analogous ligands.
