Abstract
P-Chiral (S,RP)-2-{1'-[butyl(phenyl)phosphanyl]ferrocen-1-yl}-4-isopropyl-4,5-dihydrooxazole (6) and (S,SP)-2-{1'-[butyl(phenyl)phosphanyl]ferrocen-1-yl}-4-isopropyl-4,5-dihydrooxazole (7) were prepared by the procedure developed by Jugé, starting from enantiomerically pure (-)- or (+)-ephedrine and dichloro(phenyl)phosphine. Compounds 6 and 7 were examined for asymmetric induction in the Pd-catalyzed reaction of rac-1,3-diphenylallyl acetate with dimethyl malonate. The best results were obtained with 7 (98% ee), while 6 gave 82% ee.
