Abstract

New chiral C1-symmetric bidentate ligands, which possess two different nitrogen heterocycles, 1,3-thiazolyl, 1-methylimidazolyl or pyrazinyl and one pyridyl group, were prepared by Kröhnke condensation in 36-59% overall yield. Stable Pd(II)-allyl and Cu(II) chloride complexes formed by some of the ligands were obtained in 60-65% yields. X-ray crystal structure analysis of a copper(II) complex having 1-methylimidazolyl group indicated that it is a μ-chloro bridge dimer. The Pd(II)-allyl complexes were found to be active catalysts in the asymmetric allylic substitution of 1,3-diphenylprop-2-enyl acetate. The best result observed was 85% e.e. and 99% isolated yield. In addition, the in situ generated Cu(OTf)2 complexes were found to be active catalysts in cyclopropanation of styrene with ethyl diazoacetate.
