A series of new phosphorus-containing oxazoline ligands has been developed. The use of these ligands for asymmetric palladium camlysed allylic substitution of 1,3-diphenylprop-2enyLI-acetate 12 with the sodium salt of dimethylmalonale has been achieved with 90 -94% ee and 88 -99% yield.

β¦ Synopsis
The use of homochiral oxaxolines as ligands in metal catalysed reactions has recently been mceiving a gmat deal of attention. For example, enantioselective cyclopropanation,l hydrosilylation2 and Diels AldeS reactions have been reported to proceed with remarkably high levels of enantioselectivity.
Furthermore, Pfaltx has reported the use of homochiral bis-oxaxolines and related ligands with a similar topology for asymmetric psRadium catalysed allylic substitutioIl.4
As paa of a programme for controlling the enantioselectivity of catalytic pmcemes using a combination of steric and electronic factors, we wish to report the use of ligands 1 which exploit the stemochemistrydirecdng prope&s of the homochiml oxaxoline moiety and also contain a further donor atom
