Catalytic asymmetric carbalkoxyallylation of imines with the chiral bis-pi-allylpalladium complex.
Carbethoxyallylstannane was employed along with the bis-pi-allylpalladium complex to achieve a useful conversion of prochiral imines to chiral 2-(2-aryl-2-aminoethyl)acrylates which are important building blocks for further asymmetric synthesis of a wide range of compounds.
