Complementing Pyridine-2,6-bis(oxazoline) with Cyclometalated N-Heterocyclic Carbene for Asymmetric Ruthenium Catalysis.


ABSTRACT: A strategy for expanding the utility of chiral pyridine-2,6-bis(oxazoline) (pybox) ligands for asymmetric transition metal catalysis is introduced by adding a bidentate ligand to modulate the electronic properties and asymmetric induction. Specifically, a ruthenium(II) pybox fragment is combined with a cyclometalated N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand to generate catalysts for enantioselective transition metal nitrenoid chemistry, including ring contraction to chiral 2H-azirines (up to 97?% ee with 2000?TON) and enantioselective C(sp3 )-H aminations (up to 97?% ee with 50?TON).
