Iridium/NMDPP Catalyzed Asymmetric Ring‐Opening Reaction of Oxabenzonorbornadienes with Phenolic or Naphtholic Nucleophiles

Abstract

Open up: An [Ir(COD)Cl]2/ (S)-NMDPP (COD=1,5-cyclooctadiene; NMDPP=neomenthyldiphenylphosphine) complex catalyzes asymmetric ring-opening reactions of oxabenzonorbornadienes with phenolic or naphtholic nucleophiles efficiently. Up to 96 % yield and 88 % ee was achieved. DMF=N,N-dimethylformamide. As a service to our authors and readers, this journal provides supporting information supplied by the authors.
