Optically active sulfoximines in enantioselective palladium catalysis

Abstract Chiral sulfoximine/Pd-complexes catalyze enantioselective allylic alkylations. The corresponding products have been obtained in good yields with moderate enantioselectivities (up to 73% ee . The crystal structure of an allyl/Pd(II)-complex bearing a chelating sulfoximine is reported.
