First enantioselective allylic etherification with phenols catalyzed by chiral ruthenium bisoxazoline complexes

Abstract

Regio- and enantioselective substitution of cinnamyl chloride by phenols has been achieved with up to 82% enantiomeric excess, using a ruthenium catalyst prepared from [Cp*(CH3CN)3Ru][PF6] and a chiral bisoxazoline ligand.
