Sl. You et al., Palladium-catalyzed asymmetric alkylations of cycloalkenyl acetates with planar chiral phosphino-ferrocene carboxylic acids, J ORGMET CH, 637, 2001, pp. 845-849
New phosphino-ferrocene carboxylic acids with only planar chirality (Sp)-3
and (Sp)-4 have been synthesized conveniently from (S,Sp)-5 and (S,Sp)-7. T
hey were used as ligands in palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation of cyclo
alkenyl acetates. With ligand (Sp)-4, high yield and good ee were given for
reactions of a series of cycloalkenyl acetates and nucleophiles. (C) 2001
