Abstract: Chiral ferrocenylphosphine ligands, represented by (R)-N-methyl-N-[bis (hydroxymethyl) methyl]- 1-[(S)-1', 2-bis-(diphenylphosphino) ferrocenyl] ethylamine ((I?)-(.!+ la), which have a pendant side chain bearing a hydroxy group at the terminal position, were designed and used successfully for palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic amination of allylic substrates containing a 1, 3-disubstituted propenyl structure (RCH= CHCH (X) R: R ...
