title: Palladium-mediated regiodivergent kinetic resolution.
abstract: [reaction: see text]. The allylic substitution of racemic 5-vinyloxazolidinones with phthalimide and a chiral palladium catalyst afforded optically enriched regioisomeric products. Optimal divergence was found by employing chiral DIOP ligands in toluene. These results demonstrate the influence of chiral ligand/chiral substrate matching on the regioselectivity in a novel resolution strategy.
