Optically active copper(II)-tris(oxazoline) complex that was synthesized as a model compound of the active site of non-heme oxygenase, was found to catalyze allylic oxidation of cycloalkenes to give the corresponding 2-cycloalkenyl benzoates with moderate to excellent enantioselectivity (up to 93% ee) under die Kharash-Sosnovsky reaction conditions.

We report the development of Pd(II)/cis-aryl sulfoxide-oxazoline (cis-ArSOX) catalysts for asymmetric C-H alkylation of terminal olefins with a variety of synthetically versatile nucleophiles. The modular, tunable, and oxidatively stable ArSOX scaffold is key to the unprecedented broad scope and high enantioselectivity (37 examples, avg. > 90% ee). Pd(II)/cis-ArSOX is unique in its ability to effect high reactivity and catalyst-controlled diastereoselectivity on the alkylation of aliphatic olefins. We anticipate that this new chiral ligand class will find use in other transition metal catalyzed processes that operate under oxidative conditions.
