Pm. Lacey et al., Synthesis and resolution of 2-methyl-Quinazolinap, a new atropisomeric phosphinamine ligand for asymmetric catalysis, TETRAHEDR L, 41(14), 2000, pp. 2475-2478
The preparation in a five-step sequence of 2-methyl-Quinazolinap, a new atr
opisomeric ligand for asymmetric catalysis, is described. Diastereomeric pa
lladacycles derived from racemic ligand and (+)-di-mu-chlorobis[(R)-dimethy
l(1-( 1-naphthyl)ethyl)aminato-C-2,N]dipalladium(II) were separated by frac
tional crystallisation. Displacement of the resolving agent by reaction wit
h DPPE afforded enantiopure 2-methyl-Quinazolinap. (C) 2000 Elsevier Scienc
