Summary.
The chiral diphosphine ligand xylophos (1) was tested as an auxiliary in palladium catalyzed allylic substitution reactions. Whereas its activity was found to be generally good only in the case of 1,3-diphenylprop-2-en-1-yl acetate, a fair level of asymmetric induction was achieved with sodium dimethyl malonate (83%ee) and benzylamine (66%ee) as nucleophiles.
