Chiral P,N-ligands with pseudo-C-2 and pseudo-C-s symmetry based on chiral pyrrolidine and phospholane rings or on dinaphthatodihydroazepino and dinaphthatodihydrophosphepino moieties were prepared and assessed in the palladium-catalyzed allylic substitutions of allylic acetates. Higher selectivity was achieved with pseudo-C-2-symmetric ligands based on the binaphthyl skeleton than with the analogous C-2-symmetric P,P- and N,N-analogues. Pseudo-C-2-type ligands had properties superior to those of pseudo-meso-type ligands when 1,3-diphenyl-2-propenyl acetate was used as a substrate, whereas the reverse situation was found for 3-cyclohexenyl acetate. Chirally flexible ligands, prepared by substitution of one of the rigid binaphthyl skeletons for a flexible biphenyl system, were found to induce chirality to the same extent as a 1:1 mixture of the rigid ligands.
