Chiral Phosphinooxazolines with a Pentamethylferrocene BackboneSynthesis and Use as Ligands in Asymmetric Catalysis

Novel phosphinooxazolines, containing a unit of central and a unit of planar chirality in a matched case
combination, have been successfully tested in the Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allylic substitution with
cycloalkenyl acetates as substrates.
