P*,P*-Bidentate Diamidophosphite Ligands in Palladium-Catalyzed Reactions

Significance Two diamidophospite ligands were used in palladium-catalyzed allylic sulfonylation, alkylation, amination, etherification, and desymmetrization reactions. The novel ligands take ­advantage of the chirogenic phosphorus donor atoms, which create a more efficient chiral environ­ment around the metal.
