Starting from tartaric acid derived chiral diols or dicarboxylic acid dichlorides with either a 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane (Taddol) or a 2,3-dimethoxy-2,3-dimethyl-1,4-dioxane (Tatrol) core structure, and BH 3-protected ortho-phosphanyl phenols, a set of fourteen new C 2-symmetric diphosphine ligands was synthesized. In addition, three related ligands were obtained from ortho-diphenylphosphino-anilines. The fully characterized ligands were then tested in the Pd-catalyzed enantioselective O-allylation of 4-methoxyphenol using crotyl methyl carbonate as a reagent. In addition, a pseudo-intramolecular variant of the reaction, using crotyl 4-methoxyphenyl carbonate as a substrate, was studied. The so-called Trost ligand was used as a reference. Although the Trost ligand (3 mol-%) gave up to 84% ee, one of the new ligands showed higher activity (50% ee with 0.075 mol-%). Copyright
