Chiral pyridylmethyl- and quinolinyl-oxazolines as ligands for enantioselective palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation
Chiral pyridylmethyl- and quinolinyl-oxazolines were prepared and assessed in the enantioselective palladium-catalyzed allylic substitution of 1,3-diphenylprop-2-enyl acetate with dimethyl malonate. Enantioselectivities up to 77% were obtained.
