AbstractThe asymmetricallylicsubstitution reaction of rac-1,3-diaryl-2-propenyl acetates with several C- and N-nucleophiles catalyzed by the palladium-complexes of eleven structurally analogous aminoalkyl-phosphines (P,N) with pentane-2,4-diyl backbone is reported. The role of the N-substituents and the influence of the ligand/palladium molar ratio on the activity and enantioselectivity of the catalytic
