title: Steric tuning of the amidomonophosphane-rhodium(I) catalyst in asymmetric addition of arylboroxines to N-phosphinoyl aldimines.
abstract: Highly enantioselective rhodium-catalyzed addition of arylboroxines to N-phosphinoylaldimines was realized by the steric tuning of a diphenylphosphorus moiety to a di(o-tolyl)phosphorus moiety of a chiral amidomonophosphane. The presence of MS 4 A in a 5:1 solvent mixture of dioxane-propanol was essential to afford the corresponding diarylmethylamines in high yield.
