β¦ Synopsis
S)-Serine methyl ester is readily transformed into 4-(hydroxymethyl)oxazoline ligands containing either a 2-(h 5 -cyclopentadienyl)(h 4 -tetraphenylcyclobutadiene)cobalt or a 2-(1,2,3,4,5-pentaphenyl)-ferrocene substituent. The influence of the bulky metallocenes result in these ligands mimicking planar chirality, as demonstrated by their catalysis of the addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde resulting in (R)-1-phenylpropanol (75% e.e.).

The rationale behind the design of an axially chiral quinazoline-containing phosphinamine ligand, 2-phenyl-Quinazolinap, is described. Its synthesis had two metal-catalysed couplings as the key steps. Enantiopure ligand was obtained after resolution and afforded up to 66% enantiomeric excess (ee) in
