Fig. 8: Application of MAH-based Pd precatalysts in reaction discovery and optimization for the asymmetric allylation of hydantoin derivative 22.

At low Pd loading. A Ligand selection achieved using in situ catalyst formation with DMPDAB–Pd–MAH. B 24 reaction solvent/base array using precatalyst 1. C Optimization of continuous variable setpoints to maximize yield, enantioselectivity, and catalyst TON. D Gram-scale synthesis of 23 using optimized conditions.
