Abstract

Abstract Image

Chelated amino acid ester enolates are excellent nucleophiles for allylic alkylations. With these enolates, even terminal π-allyl palladium complexes react without significant isomerization. This allows a transfer of the cis-olefin geometry from the substrate into the product. Chiral substrates also show a reasonably good 1,5-induction.
