Abstract

We have identified a new set of stereochemically diverse oxazoline ligands derived from simple amino acids that promote the Cr-catalyzed enantioselective addition of allylic halides to aldehydes in up to 95% ee. The Cr-catalyzed allylation using ligand 1d is rather insensitive to the nature of the allylic bromide (crotyl, allyl, and methallyl) in that >90% ee is observed for all three bromides evaluated in the addition to benzaldehyde.
