A series of easy-to-prepare and modular chiral ,-bidentate phosphoramidites were synthesized. With respect to Pd(II), these ligands showed the ability to form stable ,-chelate allylic complexes. The structures of the ligands and their complexes were confirmed by 2D NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. These chiral inducers provided up to 99% in the Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allylic substitution of ()-1,3-diphenylallyl acetate with C- and N-nucleophiles and up to 94% in the Pd-mediated allylic alkylation of cinnamyl esters with β-ketoesters and 2,5-dimethylpyrrole. Furthermore, up to 92% with quantitative conversion and chemo- and regioselectivity was achieved in the rare reaction between 2-(diethoxyphosphoryl)-1-phenylallyl acetate and aniline. The effects of the structural parameters, reaction conditions and ligand-to-metal ratio on the catalytic results are discussed. It was shown that the ligands surpass their analogues with different denticity.

The catalytic asymmetric allylation reaction involving allylboron species has emerged as a powerful tool to access highly stereoselective allylation products. In the early years, most of the researches focused on the reaction of unsubstituted allylboronates with ketones or imines. With the synthesis of complex substituted allylboronates, allylboronic acids and allyltrifluoroborates, the type of reactions and the variety of substrates are greatly expanded.

The direct enantioselective functionalization of C(sp)-H bonds in organic molecules could fundamentally transform the synthesis of chiral molecules. In particular, the enantioselective oxidation of these bonds would dramatically change the production methods of chiral alcohols and esters, which are prevalent in natural products, pharmaceuticals, and fine chemicals. Remarkable advances have been made in the enantioselective construction of carbon-carbon and carbon-nitrogen bonds through the C(sp)-H bond functionalization.

Natural product synthesis has been the prime focus for the development of new chemical transformations and the drug discovery. The dimeric and oligomeric hexahydropyrrolo[2,3-b]indole alkaloids represent a architecturally intriguing class of cyclotryptamine alkaloids. These alkaloids share contiguous stereogenic centers with vicinal all-carbon quaternary stereogenic centers.

A synergistic Pd/Cu catalyst system has been developed for stereodivergent transformation of Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) carbonates and Schiff bases derived from simple amino acids to afford a series of optically active β-branched γ-methyleneglutamic acid derivatives with adjacent tertiary/tertiary and quaternary/tertiary stereocenters in high yields (up to 96 %) with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities (>20/1 dr and >99 % ee in most cases) under mild conditions. The use of SKP ligand is disclosed to be crucial for the success of the transformation, and in particular allowing the reaction to proceed at low catalyst loading (0.02 mol % for Pd and 0.

Highly enantioselective allylic amination and alkylation of racemic sterically hindered aryl-substituted Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) adducts have been achieved by using an in situ formed Pd-catalyst from an axially chiral phenanthroline ligand. This dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformation (DYKAT) is compatible with cyclic and acyclic secondary amines, dialkyl malonates, β-keto esters, acetylacetone, and malononitrile, affording the corresponding chiral products, such as β-amino acid esters, in up to 95% yield and with up to a 99:1 enantiomeric ratio.
