Abstract
A potential chiral tridentate ligand based on 2,6-disubstituted pyridine has been prepared and its palladium complexes have been used in asymmetric allylic alkylation. Up to 75 % ee is achieved in the reaction between 1,3-diphenyl-2-propenyl acetate and dimethyl malonate. A control experiment with a similar ligand without pyridine suggests that the bidentate diphosphine coordination is responsible for the asymmetric reaction with this potential tridentate ligand.
