The palladium-catalysed reaction of lithium diphenylthiophosphides with allylic carboxylates. A stereoselective synthesis of phosphine sulphides
Abstract
The palladium-catalysed substitution of allylic carboxylates with lithium diphenylthiophosphides takes place with overall retention of configuration, leading to allylic diphenylphosphine sulphides in high yield.
