title: Construction of chiral quaternary carbon centers by Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allylic substitution with P,N-1,1'-ferrocene ligands.
abstract: A chiral quaternary carbon center on allyl substrates was constructed by Pd-catalyzed allylic alkylation reaction in good to high regio- and enantioselectivities for a wide range of substrates for the first time. [reaction: see text]
