A modular approach employing indene as common starting material, has enabled the straightforward preparation in three reaction steps of P-thioether ligands for the Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allylic substitution. The analysis of a starting library of P-thioether ligands based on rational design and theoretical calculations has led to the discovery of an optimized anthracenethiol derivative with excellent behavior in the reaction of choice. Improving most approaches reported to date, this ligand presents a broad substrate and nucleophile scope. Excellent enantioselectivities have been achieved for a range of linear and cyclic allylic substrates using a large number of C-, N-, and O-nucleophiles (40 compounds in total). The species responsible for the catalytic activity have been further investigated by NMR in order to clearly establish the origin of the enantioselectivity. The resulting products have been derivatized by means of ring-closing metathesis or Pauson-Khand reactions to further prove the synthetic versatility of the methodology for preparing enantiopure complex structures.

The construction of a novel class of amino-phosphite/phosphinite/phosphine ligands containing a protected pyrrolidine-3,4-diol moiety is presented. These ligands are obtained from readily available sugars. They thus contain the advantages of carbohydrates in terms of selection of the stereogenic carbons, polyfunctional groups able to modulate the electronic and steric properties, and the general good stability of carbohydrate derivatives. They constitute a novel class of P,N-ligands that have been used in the enantioselective allylic substitutions of acyclic and cyclic substrates with varied electronic and steric requirements, using different C- and N-nucleophiles, with high enantioselectivities. Among the three groups of P,N-ligands (amino-P; P = phosphite, phosphinite, and phosphine groups) the new amino-phosphite ligands give the widest substrate and nucleophile scope, including the more challenging hindered linear and cyclic substrates. In particular, for carbohydrate-derived amino-phosphite ligands and linear substrates, high enantioselectivity in the reactions requires an R configuration of the binaphthyl moiety. However, for cyclic substrates both product enantiomers can be reached by setting out the chirality of the binaphthyl phosphite moiety. A detailed investigation of the appropriate Pd intermediates is also presented.

A new library of modular amino phosphite ligands obtained in a few synthetic steps from enantiopure amino alcohols has been tested in asymmetric Pd-catalyzed allylic substitution. The modular ligand design is crucial to find highly selective catalysts for each substrate type using a wide range of C-, N-, and O-nucleophiles. A DFT study of the species responsible for the enantiocontrol was used to optimize the ligand structure. By selecting the ligand components, we were able to identify unprecedented catalytic systems that can create new chiral C-C, C-N, and C-O bonds in a variety of substrate types (hindered and unhindered) in high yields and enantioselectivities (ee values up to 99 %). Further studies on the Pd-π-allyl intermediates provided a deep understanding of the effect of ligand structure in the origin of enantioselectivity. Potential applications of the new Pd/amino phosphite catalysts were demonstrated by the practical synthesis of a range of chiral carbocycles by simple tandem reactions, with no loss of enantioselectivity.
