Camphane-based phosphino-carboxamide ligands as P,O-chelates in Pd-catalyzed enantioselective allylic alkylation
摘要:
A practical synthesis for new chiral phosphino-carboxamide ligands has been accomplished. These ligands were effectively modified both on the amide moiety and the phosphine atom. Application of these ligands in the Pd-catalyzed allylic alkylation of (E)-1,3-diphenyl-2-propenyl acetate proceeded with excellent conversions and with ee's of up to 92%. The use of a camphane based chiral auxiliary was found to be crucial for the asymmetric induction. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
