J. Kang et al., CATALYTIC ASYMMETRIC ALLYLIC ALKYLATION WITH A NOVEL P-S BIDENTATE LIGAND, Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society, 16(5), 1995, pp. 439-443
Both enantiomers of -2-(diphenylphosphino)-2'-mercapto-1,1'-binaphthyl
and their derivatives were obtained by synthesis from racemic 2,2'-di
hydroxy-1,1'-binaphthyl and subsequent resolution. The utilities of th
ese ligands were investigated briefly. And among these, S-methyl deriv
ative 15 has proved to be an effective ligand for Pd-catalyzed allylic
alkylation.
