Abstract

Chiral shift 31P NMR spectroscopy allows the identification of ligand leads in asymmetric catalyst systems for ZnMe2 addition to ArCHNP (O) Ph2. Subsequent GC-based optimisation shows [RhCl (CH2CH2) 2] 2 and (R, R)-MeDuPhos to be the optimal pre- catalyst combination (product in 78–93% ee). Transmetallation of [(MeDuPhos) Rh {N (P (O) Ph2–CHMeAr}] with ZnMe2 appears to be the rate limiting step of the catalytic cycle as ...
