Abstract A Pd/(R)-BINAP-catalyzed asymmetric benzylic substitution of secondary benzyl carbonates with amides and amines proceeds to form the corresponding optically active benzylamines in good yields with a high enantiomeric ratio. The reaction occurs in a dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation (DYKAT) manner. Additionally, the asymmetric Pd catalysis can also be applicable to phenol nucleophiles, thus delivering chiral ethers with acceptable yields and enantioselectivity.
