Ligand-accelerated cadmium-catalyzed asymmetric allylation reactions in aqueous media.
Catalytic asymmetric allylation of aldehydes with allyltributyltin in aqueous media has been realized using combinations of cadmium bromide and chiral diamine ligands. These ligands were found to accelerate the reactions significantly.
