title: Chiral phosphite-oxazolines: a new class of ligands for asymmetric Heck reactions.
abstract: [chemical reaction: see text]. A series of phosphite-oxazoline ligands, derived from readily available D-glucosamine, have been used for the first time in the palladium-catalyzed Heck reaction of several substrates with high regio- and enantioselectivities (ee's up to 99%) and improved activities in standard conditions.
