New Highly Effective Phosphite‐Phosphoramidite Ligands for Palladium‐Catalysed Asymmetric Allylic Alkylation Reactions

We have designed a new family of readily available highly‐modular phosphite‐phosphoramidite ligands for asymmetric allylic alkylation reactions. The introduction of a phosphoramidite moiety in the ligand design is highly advantageous in the product outcome. Thus, this ligand series affords high reaction rates and enantioselectivities and, at the same time, shows a broad scope for disubstituted hindered and unhindered substrate types.
