Electronic and steric tuning of chiral diene ligands for rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric arylation of imines

Kazuhiro Okamoto, Tamio Hayashi and Viresh H. Rawal

Rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric arylation of imines using electronically and sterically-modified chiral diene ligands gave the corresponding diarylmethylamines in high yield and with high enantioselectivity using just 0.3 mol% of catalyst.
