Asymmetric synthesis of planar chiral ferrocenes by enantioselective intramolecular C-H arylation of N-(2-haloaryl)ferrocenecarboxamides

Org Lett. 2014 Oct 17;16(20):5336-8. doi: 10.1021/ol502520b. Epub 2014 Sep 29.

Abstract

The palladium-catalyzed intramolecular C-H arylation reaction of N-(2-bromoaryl)ferrocenecarboxamides furnishes planar chiral ferrocene derivatives. TADDOL-derived phosphoramide ligands induce enantioselectivities ranging from 91:9 to 98:2 er.
