Preparation of planar-chiral multidonor phosphanylferrocene carboxamides and their application as ligands for palladium-catalysed asymmetric allylic alkylation

Abstract

A series of lower amidoamine dendrimers with chiral amido-phosphinoferrocene termini was prepared. The compounds were studied as ligands for Pd-catalyzed enantioselective allylic alkylation.
