Palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic substitution of 1,3-diphenyl-2-propenyl acetate (3) with a dimethyl malonate-BSA-LiOAc system and its derivatives has been successfully carried out in the presence of a new chiral hydrazone ligand 2-diphenylphosphinobenzaldehyde SAMP hydrazone (DPPB-SAMP) (2) in high yields with high enantioselectives (up to 92% ee).
