Abstract

AbstractDevelopment of new chiral ligands is essentially important in the field of asymmetric metal catalysis. Bispidines, steming from natural alkaloids, represent an intriguing yet underexplored class of chiral ligands. In this article, we developed a series of bispidine‐based chiral ligands with chirality locked in the side chain, and explore their properties by applying in the palladium‐catalyzed asymmetric addition of arylboric acids to cyclic N‐sulfonyl ketimines. A S,N‐bispidine ligand was found especially efficient, affording a series of chiral benzosultams with a quaternary chiral center in excellent yields with excellent ee values. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations and crystal structure of catalyst helped to propose a reasonable mechanism including a possible transition state model to explain the origin of stereoselectivity.
