Both napthylamine and benzylamine chiral cyclopalladated and cycloplatinated template have been used for monoinsertion of di(phenylethynyl)phenylphosphine ligand into the Pd-C bond of orthopalladated naphthylamine. These insertions proved to be possible under mild reaction conditions and resulted in...
