An N-Linked Bidentate Phosphoramidite Ligand (N-Me-BIPAM) for Rhodium-Catalyzed Asymmetric 14-Addition of Arylboronic Acids to αβ-Unsaturated Ketones

摘要

A new bidentate phosphoramidite (N-Me-BIPAM) based on Shibasaki’s N-linked BINOL was synthesized. This ligand appears to be highly effective for rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric conjugated addition of arylboronic acids to α,β-unsaturated enones. The reaction of ortho-substituted arylboronic acid with acyclic and cyclic enones provides the corresponding products in good yields and enantioselectivities.
