Abstract

New chiral ligands, including bi-and tridentate thiazoline derivatives, analogues of known oxazolines, have been synthesized by a general and convenient procedure, starting from dithioesters and commercial enantiopure 2-aminoalcohols. A preliminary test shows the ability of such ligands to act as asymmetric catalysts in Pd-catalyzed allylic substitution reaction.
