New Chiral Monophosphite Ligands Containing BINOL and/or H8-BINOL Bearing Adamantyl Substituents: Effect of Ligand Scaffold on the Enantioselective 1,4-Conjugate Addition of Diethylzinc to Cyclic Enones

A series of new bulky monophosphite ligands were synthesized from axially chiral BINOL/H8-BINOL (BINOL: 1-(2-hydroxynaphthalen-1-yl)naphthalen-2-ol) and highly sterically hindered adamantylcarbonyl chloride. The effectiveness of these ligands was evaluated by the Cu-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-conjugate addition of diethylzinc to cyclic enones with enantioselectivities of up to 79% ee. The results showed that a ligand structure comprising a partially hydrogenated 2,2′ -(1,1′ -binaphthyl)phosphite scaffold and an adamantyl moiety was effective in improving the enantioselectivity.
