New P,Nsp3 ligands for palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic substitutions

Org Biomol Chem. 2023 Jun 14;21(23):4874-4880. doi: 10.1039/d3ob00519d.

Abstract

New P,Nsp3 bidentate ligands containing two chiral carbon centers were developed and applied to palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic substitution reactions. Good generalities with various nucleophiles, including carbon, nitrogen and oxygen containing nucleophiles, were achieved with up to 96% ee and 98% yield. This reaction provides an efficient method for the asymmetric formation of C-C, C-N and C-O bonds.
