M. Feuerstein et al., Dramatic acceleration of the catalytic process of the amination of allyl acetates in the presence of a tetraphosphine/palladium system, CHEM COMMUN, (01), 2001, pp. 43-44
The cis,cis,cis-1,2,3,4-tetrakis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)-cyclopentane/[PdC
l(C3H5)](2) system catalyses allylic amination in good yields with a very h
igh substrate/catalyst ratio; a turnover number of 680 000 and a turnover f
requency of 8125 h(-1) can be obtained for the addition of dipropylamine to
allyl acetate in the presence of this catalyst.
