The synthesis of three planar chiral pseudo-gem disubstituted [2.2]paracyclophane-derived P,N-pre-ligands is reported along with preliminary results of their activity in the amination of aryl bromides and chlorides. The pseudo-gem aminophosphines were capable of mediating the coupling reaction at a loading of 1 mol%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
