Abstract
Heterobidentate sulfide-tertiary amine ligands incorporating 1,2-aminothioethers derived from ephedrine and pseudoephedrine have been prepared and used successfully in the palladium-catalysed asymmetric allylic substitution reaction, giving ees of up to 89%. The stereoelectronic effects operating in the reactions are discussed.
Key words
ephedrine - heterobidentate ligands - allylic substitution

In these transition state models we have assumed the effect of the sulfur tert-butyl group to be nearly neutral. We believe this to be a reasonable asumption because the S-tert-butyl group would be expected to experience interactions with both the ligand phenyl group and the N-tert-butyl group. It is possible that the sulfur may have considerable sp2 character as a result of these interactions; furthermore the S-tert-butyl group would be expected to exert less steric influence over the ligand than does the N-tert-butyl group as a carbon-sulfur bond is normally considerably longer than is a carbon-nitrogen bond.
