Significance

Palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation (AAA) reactions are well known and many chiral ligands for this transformation have already been developed. In 1995, Shibasaki and co-workers were the first to demonstrate the applicability of the (S,S)-1,2-bis(4-tolylsulfinyl) benzene ligand in AAA reactions (Tetrahedron Lett. 1995, 36, 8035). Since then, numerous related ligands have appeared in the literature. In the present report, the authors describe a new tert-butanesulfinylphosphine ligand (L1) and its use in AAA and allylic amination reactions.
