10. Diphosphites have recently emerged as suitable Iigands for this process offering high activities, see for instance, ref. [3].

14. To the best of our knowledge there have been only two successful applications of phosphite-phosphoramidite Iigands in asymmetric catalysis, see: a) ref. [5b]; b) M. Diéguez, A. Ruiz. C. Claver, Chem. Commun. 2001, 2702.

16. Similar behaviour was observed by using diphosphite and phosphine-phosphoramidite Iigands, see, for example: a) M. Diéguez. A. Ruiz, C. Claver, Dalton Trans. 2003, 2957;

28. In contrast to the palladium catalytic systems, the iridium, ruthenium and molybdenum catalysts provide very high selectivity for attack on the non-terminal carbon atom to give the chiral product. See, for instance: a) C. Bruneau, J. L. Renaud, B. Demersemen, Chem. Eur. J. 2006, 12, 5178;
