Abstract

The palladium complex of tris(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)phosphine (TTMPP) catalyzes the telomerization of isoprene with several secondary amines with unprecedented levels of selectivity for the head-to-head isomer. A mechanism based on stereoelectronic control by a Pd−monophosphine adduct is proposed.
