The synthesis of planar chiral pseudo-gem aminophosphine pre-ligands based on [2.2]paracyclophane†
Abstract
The synthesis of three planar chiral pseudo-gem disubstituted [2.2]paracyclophane-derived P,N-pre-ligands is reported along with preliminary results of their activity in the amination of aryl bromides and chlorides. The pseudo-gem aminophosphines were capable of mediating the coupling reaction at a loading of 1 mol%.
