title: An outstanding palladium system containing a C2-symmetrical phosphite ligand for enantioselective allylic substitution processes.
abstract: The use of efficient Pd systems bearing C(2)-symmetric chiral diphosphite ligands derived from carbohydrates in asymmetric allylic substitution reactions is described here, reaching TOFs > 22 000 h(-1) in allylic alkylation and ca. 400 h(-1) in allylic amination, giving excellent enantioselectivities (ee > 99%) and kinetic resolution of the racemic substrate.
