Evolution of a ‘privileged’ P-alkene ligand: added planar chirality beats BINOL axial chirality in catalytic asymmetric C–C bond formation

Abstract

Alkene planar chirality is introduced in the ‘privileged’ P-alkene phosphoramidite ligand 1. The resulting diastereomeric ligands (pR,R)-5 and (pS,R)-5 form optically pure complexes of Rh(I) and Pd(II), which catalyze conjugate additions of boron C-nucleophiles to enones and allylic alkylations, respectively. In the Rh-catalyzed reaction, the planar chirality of the alkene exerts absolute enantiocontrol over the potent BINOL auxiliary.
