Abstract
Novel 2-(4,4′-bipyridin-2-yl)oxazolines, bearing a chiral oxazoline moiety, were synthesised starting from 4,4′-bipyridine and selectively monomethylated in the N′-position. After coordination to rhodium these electron-poor ligands are supposed to exhibit charge-transfer effects with electron-donating substrates in the Rh(I)-catalysed enantioselective hydrosilylation (see next publication). Similar effects were expected from 4,4′-bipyridine- and pyrazine-bisoxazolines after complexation with rhodium. For comparison 2-(4-phenylpyridin-2-yl)oxazoline ligands were synthesised. Rh(I)-complexes of selected ligands were prepared and characterised, including an X-ray structure analysis.
