H. Danjo et al., Allylic substitution in water catalyzed by amphiphilic resin-supported palladium-phosphine complexes, TETRAHEDRON, 55(50), 1999, pp. 14341-14352
New amphiphilic resin-supported triarylphosphines PEP (1) were designed and
prepared on polyethylene glycol-polystyrene graft copolymer (PEG-PS). Pall
adium complexes of 1, Pd(PEP)(2) (4) and Pd(PEP) (5), catalyzed allylic alk
ylation of 3-acetoxy-1,3-diphenyl-1-propene (6) and cinnamyl acetate (7) wi
th various nucleophiles including 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, amino acids, so
dium azide, and sodium sulfinate, to give quantitative yields of correspond
ing allylic substituted products in water. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. A
