[GRAPHICS]
A chiral phase-transfer catalyst has been applied to the asymmetric allylat
ion of the tert-butyl glycinate-benzophenone Schiff base with various allyl
ic acetates for the first time to give the allylated products in good yield
s and with comparable to higher enantioselectivity than for asymmetric alky
lation at the same temperature (91-96% ee) without any chiral ligands for c
oordinating to the palladium.
