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.

Ir-phosphinomethyl-oxazoline complexes have been identified as efficient, highly enantioselective catalysts for the asymmetric hydrogenation of 3,3-disubstituted allylic alcohols and related homoallylic alcohols. In contrast to other N,P ligand complexes, which require weakly coordinating solvents, such as dichloromethane, these catalysts perform well in more ecofriendly THF or 2-MeTHF. Their synthetic potential was demonstrated with the formal total synthesis of four bisabolane sesquiterpenes. Particularly high enantioselectivity values in the asymmetric hydrogenation of 3,3-disubstituted allylic alcohols and related homoallylic alcohols have been achieved with Ir-phosphinomethyloxazoline catalysts. In contrast to other N,P-ligand complexes, which require weakly coordinating solvents, such as CH 2Cl2, these catalysts perform well in more ecofriendly THF or 2-MeTHF (see scheme; CODa =a 1,5-cyclooctadiene).
