General description

The product is a phosphinooxazoline (PHOX) ligand introduced by Pfaltz and coworkers. These non-symmetrical modular P,N-ligands are particularly useful in cases where double bond migration leads to undesired products or mixtures of isomers.

Application

(S)-4-tert-Butyl-2-[2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl]-2-oxazoline can be used as a ligand for enantioselective Heck reaction without any C=C double bond migration byproduct. It can also be used in a rhodium(I)-catalyzed enantioselective desymmetrization reaction of meso-3,5-dimethyl glutaric anhydride, to form substituted syn-deoxypolypropionate fragments in a single transformation.

Articles

Of the thousands of chiral ligands used in asymmetric synthesis a relatively large number exhibit C2-symmetry. More recently, non-symmetrical modular P,N-ligands have been introduced independently by Pfaltz, Helmchen, and Williams and applied successfully in various metal-catalyzed reactions.

Related Content

Andreas Pfaltz has a longstanding interest in the design of chiral ligands for asymmetric catalysis. The semicorrins developed in his group served as the prototype for an important family of nitrogen ligands, the bisoxazolines, which have found widespread use in catalytic asymmetric synthesis.
