In contrast to other metals (Pd, Mo, and Ir, for example),[2] copper allows harder nucleophiles, such as alkyl groups, to be used. Increasing interest is being shown in catalytic systems where the copper center is coordinated to a chiral ligand,[3] such as with Grignard [4] and organozinc reagents.[5] The research in our group has focused on the development of efficient ligands for the substitution of allylic chlorides by Grignard reagents. Previously, we showed that phosphorus ligands derived from tetraaryl-1, 3-dioxolane-4, 5-dimethanol (taddol) were highly effective chiral reagents in the reaction with cinnamyl chloride (g/a= 94/6, 73% ee).[4d] Our second-generation phosphoramidite ligands improved on this result, with an ee value of 79% being observed. They also allowed a wider scope of applicability.[4e] Herein, we report new phosphoramidite ligands for the same application that are also compatible with our previously described one-pot Ru-catalyzed metathesis procedure.[4e] These third-generation ligands give ee values of up to 96% in most cases and can be applied to Ir-catalyzed allylic substitution. The biphenol 1a [6] and binaphthol-based ligands 2a and 3a [7](see Scheme 1) were used as the starting compounds, and related ligands were prepared by structural modifications, either at the biphenol (or binaphthol) or the amino functionality. Ligands 1b–3b (Scheme1) which contain an amine group as well as ortho-methoxy substituents on the phenyl rings [8] provided greatly improved results both in the regioselectivity and the enantioselectivity of the products. Previously,[4e] we showed that 1a gave an ee value of 79% and a regioselectivity of 91: 9 in favor of the g product resulting from the addition of 5a to 4a (Table 1, entry 1). The binaphtholbased ligand 2a induced a similar enantioselectivity although the regioselectivity was poorer (entry 2). The reaction with ligand 3a was not as regioselective, but did not invert the absolute configuration of 6 (entry 3). For this case we could hypothesize that the amine functionality in the ligand dictates the absolute configuration of the product. This is in contrast to the behavior of these ligands in conjugate addition.[6] The modified ligand 1b, in comparison with 1a, gave an increased regioselectivity (98/2) and a similar enantioselectivity (entry 4). Two diastereomeric ligands 2b and 3b containing binaphthol units were also prepared to evaluate the effect of a fixed atropoisomerism.
