Synthesis and applications of a new class of phosphorus donor ligands for asymmetric catalysis

Abstract

The synthesis and applications to allylic substitutions of a range of novel ligands based on diazaphospholidines is described; enantiomeric excesses of up to 89% were achieved in an allylic substitution reaction.
