Novel Sulfinyl Imine Ligands for Asymmetric Catalysis
journal contribution
posted on 2003-01-21, 00:00 authored by Laurie B. Schenkel, Jonathan A. EllmanA novel class of P,N-sulfinyl imine ligands has been prepared that incorporates chirality solely at sulfur. The Pd complex of ligand 14 catalyzes
the allylic alkylation reaction with high enantioselectivity (94%), and the first crystal structure of a Pd-bound sulfinyl imine provides insight
into binding mode and origins of stereoselectivity.
