72. Due to the stabilization provided by the continuum model, it was also possible to find completely "open approaches" without interaction with any ligand moiety. These open approaches were insignificant for pro-S attack where these had a higher energy than the amide H-bonded transition states. For pro-R attack, these open approaches were more prevalent and it was necessary in all cases to locate both types of transition states and compare their energies.

75. 3) would augment the inherent (R)-torquoselectivity for attack in exo-8. However, with (R,R)-1, pro-S selectivity still dominates (70 pro-S/30 pro-R). Nonetheless, in agreement with the preceding discussion noting the possible interaction of the escort ion with aromatic rings, replacement of the cyclohexane scaffold in (R,R)-1 with a 9,10-dihydroanthracene moiety results in highly selective nucleophilic attack at the pro-R carbon.

Pd(0) complexes of ligand 1, and its naphtho analogue, are unstable in solution, losing both amide hydrogens to form two covalent Pd-N bonds, thus generating a neutral, P,P,N,N-tetracoordinate mononuclear species. This bright yellow complex is catalytically inactive for allylation reactions and has been characterized by X-ray crystallography (see footnote 11 in ref 18).
