RT Journal Article T1 Chiral Ligands Based on Binaphthyl Scaffolds for Pd-Catalyzed Enantioselective C–H Activation/Cycloaddition Reactions A1 González González, José Manuel A1 Vidal Pereira, Xandro A1 Ortuño Maqueda, Manuel Ángel A1 Mascareñas Cid, José Luis A1 Gulías Costa, Moisés K1 Allenes K1 Annulations K1 Chemical structure K1 Ligands K1 Stereoselectivity AB We report the first examples of the use of a new class of ligands (NOBINAc) for performing asymmetric C–H activations using palladium catalysts. These ligands combine the axial chirality of binaphthyl scaffolds with the bifunctional and bidentate coordination properties of mono-N-protected amino acids (MPAAs), which are well-known to favor Pd-promoted C–H activations via concerted metalation–deprotonation mechanisms. We demonstrate that our new ligands enable substantially higher enantioselectivities than MPAAs in the assembly of 2-benzazepines through formal (5 + 2) cycloadditions between homobenzyltriflamides or o-methylbenzyltriflamides and allenes PB ACS Publications SN 0002-7863 YR 2022 FD 2022 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/29687 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/29687 LA eng NO J.
