Y. Uozumi et al., ASYMMETRIC AZA-CLAISEN REARRANGEMENT OF ALLYL IMIDATES CATALYZED BY HOMOCHIRAL CATIONIC PALLADIUM(II) COMPLEXES, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 9(6), 1998, pp. 1065-1072
The asymmetric aza-Claisen rearrangement of (E)-3-alkyl-2-propenyl N-[
4-trifluoromethyl)phenyl]benzimidates was catalyzed by a homochiral ca
tionic palladium(II) complex generated from )-2-(2-diphenylphosphino)p
henyl-4-benzyloxazoline} and silver tetrafluoroborate (Pd:silver=1:1)
to give 2-propenyl)-N-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]benzamide of up to 81
