Design and synthesis of modular oxazoline ligands for the enantioselective chromium-catalyzed addition of allyl bromide to ketones

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ja068915m

By systematically evaluating ligand diastereomers using a modular oxazoline template, a new ligand has been identified leading to the discovery of the first example of a chromium-catalyzed enantioselective allylation of ketones using allylic bromides. Cop
