Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) An enantioselective C-O bond-forming reaction proceeds well under palladium catalysis with newly developed N-P,S ligands with a ferrocene motif (see scheme). Nonconjugated substituents on the benzylic alcohol substrate lead to an increase in enantioselectivity with increasing electron-donating ability in the title reaction with racemic 1,3-diphenyl-2-propenyl acetate. Cy = cyclohexyl. KGaA.
