Abstract

Enantiomerically pure 2-[2-(diphenylphosphino)aryl]oxazolines are readily prepared from 2-bromobenzonitrile by transmetalation with BuLi, subsequent reaction with chlorodiphenylphosphine and conversion of the resulting phosphinoaryl nitrile to the oxazoline by treatment with a chiral amino alcohol in the presence of ZnCl2. An alternative synthesis is based on the orthometalation of 2-aryloxazolines followed by reaction with chlorodiphenylphosphine.
