These new ligands enabled very good catalytic activity in rhodium-mediated asymmetric hydrogenations at low catalyst loadings, while the enantioselectivity remained moderate. Slightly positive regulation effects for the enantioselectivity of the hydrogenation reactions were obtained as a result of the combination of the appropriate bisphosphine ligand and different regulation agents.

Research paper thumbnail of ChemInform Abstract: Phosphinooxazolines Derived from 3-Amino-1,2-diols: Highly Efficient Modular P—N Ligands

The oxazoline moiety in 12 contains a C-4 aryl and a C-5 alkoxymethyl substituent that can be independently optimized for high catalytic activity and enantioselectivity. A methoxymethyl substituent at C-5 has been found to provide the best results in terms of enantioselectivity and activity in the alkylation of a diverse family of allylic substrates under both thermal and microwave-assisted activation. The palladium-phos-phinooxazoline complexes described in this work are remarkably robust, as the enantioselectivity recorded in the asymmetric allylic alkylation remains essentially unchanged in the temperature range between 20 and 130 8C. An unprecedented reversal in enantioselectivity has been observed between 1,3-diphenylallyl and 1,3-dimethylallyl alkylation substrates, and the origin of this behavior has been explained by means of ONIOM QM/MM calculations.
