Eleven novel aminophosphine ligands have been synthesized, all of which contain a chiral 2,2' '-bridged biferroceno unit as part of a biferrocenoazepine substructure. The efficiency of these compounds as chiral auxiliaries in palladium-mediated allylic substitution reactions has been investigated. Depending on the degree of (steric) fit between proper ligands and cyclic or noncyclic substrates, reactions with 46-87% ee were achieved. The molecular structure of a palladium dichloride complex of one of the ligands was determined by X-ray diffraction and compared to its binaphthyl analogue. In the solid state, the azepine substructure of these two complexes adopts totally different conformations with either local C(2) (binaphthyl) or local C(1) (biferrocene derivative) symmetry. These structural changes are well-reproduced by empirical force field calculations and are also reflected in significantly different behavior in asymmetric catalysis.
