Efficient one-step synthesis of chiral bidentate oxazoline-alcohol ligands via a cyclic imidate ester rearrangement
摘要:
Various chiral bidentate oxazoline-alcohol ligands were obtained in a straightforward one-step synthesis via a cyclic imidate ester rearrangement. These chiral ligands were tested and compared in asymmetric diethylzinc additions to aldehydes resulting in selectivities of up to 87% ee. An interesting chirality switch was observed when a CPh2-tether instead of a CH2 was present, offering the opportunity for dual stereocontrol. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Chiral imidate–ferrocenylphosphanes: synthesis and application as P,N-ligands in iridium(i)-catalyzed hydrogenation of unfunctionalized and poorly functionalized olefins
The present invention relates to a use of a cyclic imidate as a ligand for catalysis in which the ligand contains sub-structure (Y) as a minimal structural motive, wherein the carbon atoms and the nitrogen atom can be optionally substituted by a chemical substituent.
