Gs. Chen et al., Palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation of tert-butyl(diphylmethylene)-glycinate with simple allyl esters under chiral phase transfer conditions, TETRAHEDR-A, 12(11), 2001, pp. 1567-1571
The first example of palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation of,in imino est
er with simple allyl esters in the presence of a chiral quaternary ammonium
salt is reported. The presence of molecular sieves was found to have a ben
eficial effect on the enantioselectivity of the reaction by scavenging wate
r from the system. Alkylated products vith e.e.s of up to 61% were obtained
