Abstract

Abstract Image

A series of novel chiral aminophosphine ligands are designed and readily prepared from (S)-prolinol. The reactivity and selectivity in the palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation of 1,3-diphenyl-2-propenyl acetate with a dimethyl malonate−BSA−LiOAc system using these chiral ligands are evaluated, and the structural elucidation of ligands and palladium complex is also conducted. Moreover, a series of trialkylsilylated chiral aminophosphine ligands are prepared and applied to palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation (up to 98% ee).
