Abstract
Enantioselective reactions of a wide variety of benzyl nitriles with N-tosylimines catalyzed by novel chiral 1,3-bis(imidazolin-2-yl)benzene-palladium(II) [Phebim-Pd(II)] complexes have afforded the respective products in high yield with good enantioselectivity. A reaction mechanism is proposed based on X-ray crystal structures of palladium complexes.
