Diastereomer ratios of up to 95:5 and enantiomeric excesses of up to 95% were achieved in Pd-catalyzed asymmetric alyllic substitutions with zinc enolates of glycine esters as nucleophiles; a remarkable effect of the ligand on the diastereoselectivity of the substitution was found.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
