K. Hiroi et al., ASYMMETRIC INDUCTION IN THE PALLADIUM-CATALYZED NUCLEOPHILIC-SUBSTITUTION REACTIONS OF CHIRAL BETA-SULFINYLALLYLIC SYSTEMS, Chemistry Letters, (12), 1995, pp. 1099-1100
The first example of the palladium-catalyzed asymmetric nucleophilic s
ubstitutions of chiral beta-sulfinylallylic systems is described. The
degree of the asymmetric induction was dependent on the reaction condi
tions, especially a phosphine ligand used. The plausible mechanism of
the asymmetric induction is proposed on the basis of the stereochemica
l results obtained.
