General description

(R,R)-(-)-2,3-Bis(tert-butylmethylphosphino)quinoxaline is an air-stable C2-symmetric P-stereogenic phosphine ligand.

Application

Efficient ligand exhibiting high levels of enantiocontrol in synthetic transformations ranging from metal-catalyzed 1,4-addition of arylboronic acids to alkylative ring opening to asymmetric hydrogenation.

Features and Benefits

Advantages of the QuinoxP* Ligands:
  • It is not oxidized nor epimerized at ambient conditions in air
  • Enantioselectivities are outstanding for various reaction paradigms
  • Hydrogenations proceed under mild reaction conditions
  • Low catalyst loadings yield high TONs

A new P-chiral phosphine ligand, (R,R)-2,3-bis(tert-butylmethylphosphino)quinoxaline, has been prepared by the reaction of enantiomerically pure tert-butylmethylphosphine-borane with 2,3-dichloroquinoxaline. This ligand, in contrast to most of the previously reported P-chiral ligands, is an air-stable solid and exhibits excellent enantioselectivities in both
