C. Bolm et al., CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF A NEW CHIRAL PD(0) DIPHOSPHINE COMPLEX AND ITS USE IN ENANTIOSELECTIVE ALLYLIC ALKYLATIONS/, Journal of organometallic chemistry, 502(1-2), 1995, pp. 47-52
The crystal structure of the new chiral Pd(0) complex (R,R)-2 bearing
two homochiral diphosphine ligands is reported. Its catalytic activity
and enantioselectivity in allylic substitution reactions were investi
gated and the results compared to those obtained with various in-situ
catalyst systems derived from [Pd(allyl)Cl](2) and diphosphine (R)-1.
