RT Journal Article T1 Enantioselective synthesis of a-aryl a-hydrazino phosphonates A1 Alberca, Saúl A1 Romero Parra, Javier A1 Fernández López, Israel A1 Fernández, Rosario A1 Lassaletta, José M. A1 Monge, David AB Catalysts generated in situ by the combination of pyridine–hydrazone N,N-ligands and Pd(TFA)2 have been applied to the addition of arylboronic acids to formylphosphonate-derived hydrazones, yielding α-aryl α-hydrazino phosphonates in excellent enantioselectivities (96 → 99% ee). Subsequent removal of the benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz) N-protecting group afforded key building blocks en route to appealing artificial peptides, herbicides and antitumoral derivatives. Experimental and computational data support a stereochemical model based on aryl-palladium intermediates in which the phosphono hydrazone coordinates in its Z-configuration, maximizing the interactions between the substrate and the pyridine–hydrazone ligand.
