The asymmetric isomerization of primary allylic alcohols to chiral aldehydes using iridium-catalysts bearing P,N-MaxPHOX ligands has been studied. These catalysts can be fine-tuned as they present three different stereogenic centers to modulate both the reactivity and enantioselectivity of a family of different substrates. The experimental part is supported by a DFT study of the reaction mechanism, which provides new insights into the key steps of this transformation.

An improved generation of chiral cationic iridium catalysts for the asymmetric isomerization of primary allylic alcohols is disclosed. The design of these air-stable complexes relied on the preliminary mechanistic information available, and on Charton analyses using two preceding generations of iridium catalysts developed for this highly challenging transformation. Sterically unbiased chiral aldehydes that were not accessible previously have been obtained with high levels of enantioselectivity, thus validating the initial hypothesis regarding the selected ligand-design elements. A rationale for the high enantioselectivities achieved in most cases is also presented. Achieving enantioselectivity: An improved generation of chiral cationic iridium catalysts for the asymmetric isomerization of primary allylic alcohols is disclosed. The design of these air-stable complexes relies on preliminary mechanistic information and on Charton analyses using two preceding generations of iridium catalysts developed for this highly challenging transformation (see figure).

A new planar-chiral bidentate phosphaferrocene ligand (2) has been synthesized and structurally characterized. The derived rhodium complex, [Rh(cod)(2)]BF4, serves as an effective catalyst for asymmetric isomerizations of allylic alcohols to aldehydes, furnishing improved yields, scope, and enantioselectivities relative to previously reported methods. The catalyst is air-stable and can be recovered at the end of the reaction. Mechanistic studies establish that the isomerization proceeds via an intramolecular 1,3-hydrogen migration and that the catalyst differentiates between the enantiotopic C1 hydrogens.
