  • Sulfenylphosphinoferrocenes: Novel Planar Chiral Ligands in Enantioselective Catalysis*
    Pure Appl. Chem., Vol. 78, No. 2, pp. 257–265, 2006. doi:10.1351/pac200678020257 © 2006 IUPAC Sulfenylphosphinoferrocenes: Novel planar chiral ligands in enantioselective catalysis* Silvia Cabrera, Olga García Mancheño, Ramón Gómez Arrayás, Inés Alonso, Pablo Mauleón, and Juan C. Carretero‡ Departamento de Química Orgánica, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, 28049 Madrid, Spain Abstract: Structurally well-defined transition-metal complexes of 1-phosphino-2-sulfenyl- ferrocene (Fesulphos ligands) act as highly efficient catalysts in a variety of mechanistically different transformations. Excellent enantioselectivities were achieved in Pd-catalyzed allylic substitutions, desymmetrization of meso-heterobicyclic alkenes by Pd-catalyzed addition of dialkylzinc reagents, Pd-catalyzed Diels–Alder reaction of cyclopentadiene with N-acryloyl oxazolidinones, and in Cu-catalyzed formal aza-Diels–Alder reaction of Danishefsky diene to N-sulfonyl aldimines. Keywords: sulfenylphosphinoferrocenes; Fesulphos; enantioselective; Pd-catalyzed; allylic substitutions; desymmetrization; Danishefsky diene; N-sulfonyl aldimines; Cu-catalyzed. INTRODUCTION Two main structural concepts have proved to be greatly successful in the design of chiral ligands for asymmetric catalysis: The reduction of the possible diastereomeric transition states by using bidentate C2-symmetrical P/P, N/N, or O/O chiral ligands (e.g., BINAP, bisoxazolines, salen, or BINOL-based ligands) and the use of mixed bidentated ligands equipped with strong and weak donor heteroatom pairs [1]. This second strategy takes advantage of the different electronic properties associated with each heteroatom-metal bond (e.g., the trans influence) which, playing in combination with appropriate steric effects around the metal-coordinating heteroatoms, can create an asymmetric environment capable of inducing high levels of enantiocontrol. Some bidentate P/N chiral ligands such as phosphine–oxazoline systems and QUINAP constitute excellent examples of this strategy [2].

Unfortunately, the selection of a suitable ligand/substrate combination often requires signicant screening effort.
