P-chirogenic phosphine ligands can be prepared via desymmetrization of prochiral phosphine boranes using s-BuLi?(-)-sparteine complexes. One limitation of this method, however, has been that (+)-sparteine is not easily accessible. Herein, we show that der
Evaluation of (+)-sparteine-like diamines for asymmetric synthesis

Three new (+)-sparteine-like diamines were prepared from (-)-cytisine and evaluated as sparteine surrogates in the α-lithiation rearrangement of cyclooctene oxide and the palladium(II)/diamine catalyzed oxidative kinetic resolution of 1-indanol. The new diamines exhibited opposite enantioselectivity to that observed with (-)-sparteine but increasing the steric hindrance of the N-alkyl group beyond N-Et had a detrimental effect on enantioselectivity. The optimal N-Me diamine was evaluated with much success in five other (-)-sparteine-mediated processes involving different metals (lithium, magnesium, and copper) and different types of reaction mechanisms.
