title: Regio- and enantioselective iridium-catalyzed allylation of thiophenol: synthesis of enantiopure allyl phenyl sulfides.
abstract: A highly regio- and enantioselective allylic alkylation of sodium thiophenoxide has been realized by [Ir(COD)Cl](2)/phosphoramidite along with CsF as an additive, producing highly enantioenriched allyl phenyl sulfide compounds with up to 99% ee.
