Enantioselective Aza‐Morita–Baylis–Hillman Reactions of Acrylonitrile Catalyzed by Palladium(II) Pincer Complexes having <i>C</i>₂‐Symmetric Chiral Bis(imidazoline) Ligands

Abstract

Schlicht effizient: Eine Aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman-Reaktion zwischen Acrylnitril und verschiedenen Iminen in Gegenwart chiraler Phebim-PdII-Komplexe (1) ergibt die Produkte in hervorragenden Ausbeuten und Enantioselektivitäten (siehe Schema). Somit steht ein leichtes und effizientes Syntheseverfahren für funktionalisierte α-Methylen-β-aminonitrile und deren Derivate zur Verfügung.
