title: N-phosphino-p-tolylsulfinamide ligands: synthesis, stability, and application to the intermolecular Pauson-Khand reaction.
abstract: Here we synthesized a family of racemic and optically pure N-phosphino-p-tolylsulfinamide (PNSO) ligands. Their stability and coordination behavior toward dicobalt-alkyne complexes was evaluated. Selectivities of up to 3:1 were achieved in the ligand exchange process with (mu-TMSC2H)Co2(CO)6. The resulting optically pure major complexes were tested in the asymmetric intermolecular Pauson-Khand reaction and yielded up to 94% ee. X-ray studies of the major complex 18a indicated that the presence of an aryl group on the sulfinamide reduces the hemilabile character of the PNSO ligands.
