Electronic and steric tuning of chiral diene ligands for rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric arylation of imines.
Rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric arylation of imines using electronically and sterically-modified chiral diene ligands gave the corresponding diarylmethylamines in high yield and with high enantioselectivity using just 0.3 mol% of catalyst.
