^aPerformed on a 0.375 mmol scale by using 4.0 mol % Pd(PPh₃)₄, 50 mol % amine, 6.25 mol % P5, 190 mg 5 Å molecular sieves, and 0.75 mmol allyl alcohol in 0.75 mL MTBE at 60 °C for 16 h.

^bDetermined by GC analysis.

^cDetermined by chiral HPLC analysis using a Diacel Chiralcel AS-H column. Absolute configurations were determined by measuring the optical rotations and comparing with the literature data.
