1. Introduction
Chiral tridentate ligands, also called as chiral pincer-type ligands, have achieved widespread applications in asymmetric catalysis since they allow exquisite control of electronic/steric features around the metal center as well as enhance the metal complex stability.[1] Among these, various chiral PNN-type pincer ligands with different chiral structural units have been designed (Figure 1). According to the source of chirality, these ligands can be majorly divided to chiral spiro PNN ligands (A), [2-3] the ligands bearing phosphine groups with chiral substituents (B), [4] chiral binaphthyl ligands (C), [5] chiral ferrocenyl ligands (D), [6-7] chiral amine-based ligands (E)[8] and chiral oxazoline-containing ligands (F).[9] Surprisingly, these ligands as well as the metal complexes have only been applied to asymmetric hydrogenation and asymmetric transfer hydrogenation. Therefore, the development of new kind of chiral PNN ligands to catalyze other kind of asymmetric transformations is an attractive target.
Figure 1
We have been interested in the synthesis and applications of chiral oxazoline-based ligands[10] due to their ready accessibility from cheap and diverse chiral amino alcohols as well as versatile utilities in a wide range of asymmetric transformations.[11] In contrast, only a few chiral pincer PNN ligands containing oxazoline ring have been reported. Recently, Shi and co-workers[9] developed oxazoline-based PNN ligands (F) for metal catalyzed polymerization of norbornene. In addition, Zhou and Zhang developed the chiral PNN ligands that associated chiral oxazoline ring with chiral spiro- (A2)[3] and ferrocenyl (D2)[7] backbones, respectively, which were both applied in iridium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation. In this context, we report the synthesis of a new class of chiral PNN ligands, 1-(4, 5-dihydrooxazol-2-yl)-N-(2-(diphenylphosphanyl)benzyl)- methanamines (oxpma, 1) (Figure 1), which are derived from readily available amino alcohols and amino acids. In an evaluation of their potential in asymmetirc catalysis, it was found that they induced high enantioselectivity in the asymmetric allyl alkylation reaction catalyzed by palladium medium, [12] which is a powerful strategy for stereoselective construction of C—C bond.
2. Results and discussion
Chiral oxazoline ligand 1 was readily prepared starting from amino acid 2 in 5 or 6 steps (Scheme 1). First, amino acid 2 were transformed easily to Fmoc-protected amino acid 3, [13] which react with amino alcohol 4 to construct the oxazoline ring directly for providing Fmoc-oxazoline amines (for 6a~6d) in moderate yields (62%~72%).[14] When R1 is tert-butyl group, 6e could be obtained through the intermediate 5 in 2 steps.[15] After deprotection of 6, [14] oxazoline amines 7 were condensed with 2-(diphenyl- phosphanyl)benzaldehyde in the presence of 2 equiv. of tetraethoxytitanium to get imines 8, which are unstable upon purification with silica gel chromatography. Thus, the crude compounds 8 were converted directly to ligands 1 through reduction by NaBH4 or addition of Grignard reagents with sole diastereoselectivity.[16]
Scheme 1
With the ligand library in hand, ligand 1b and [Pd(η3-C3H5)Cl]2 were chosen to study the asymmetric allylic alkylation of 9a with 10a (Table 1). Several commonly used bases were first examined (Table 1, Entries 1~3), and N, O-bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide (BSA) proved to be the optimal one (98% yield, 95% ee). Solvent screening showed that both 1, 2-dichloroethane and acetonitrile are the suitable solvents, and dichloromethane was still chosen for further investigations due to the convenience of operation (Table 1, Entries 3~7). A series of ligands were subsequently screened (Table 1, Entries 3 and 8~14). It was found that the conversion and enantioselectivity were dependent upon the combination of substitutents at three stereocenters and ligand 1b gave the most promising result. Then, decreasing the amount of BSA to 2 equiv. (Table 1, Entry 15) and further reducing the catalyst loading (Table 1, Entry 17) achieved comparative results. Finally, changing the reaction temperature did not give better results (Table 1, Entries 19 and 20).

The substrate scope of this reaction was subsequently investigated under the optimal reaction conditions (Table 1, Entry 17) which was shown in Table 2. A series of allylic acetates (9a~9e) are well tolerated to provide the corresponding products with high enantioselectivities (11aa~11ea, 91%~96% ee) regardless of the electronic nature of the substituents. The position of substituent affected the reaction outcome. The reaction of 1, 3-bis(3- methylphenyl)allyl acetate (9f) conducted well to afford the desired product 11fa in 79% yield with 90% ee, while the substrate with ortho-chlorine (9g) only gave product 11ga with 61% ee. In particular, the substrate with 2-naphthyl group (9h) is suitable for the reaction condition to get the product 11ga in 97% yield with 92% ee. Various nucleophiles 10 were then examined. The malonates with different substituents gave the corresponding products (11ab~11ae) with good enantioselecitivities (85%~94% ee) in moderate to high yields (48%~97%). The reaction of 9a with acetylacetone (10f) was also carried out to get the desired product 11af in 75% yield with 90% ee. However, malononitrile (10g) is not tolerated and gave the product 11ag in low yield with moderate enantioselectivity.

Conclusions
A new class of chiral tridentate PNN ligands, oxpma, were developed. These ligands are derived from readily available amino acids. Their brief utility as stereodirecting ligands in Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation has been first evaluated, which achieved good enantioselectivites (up to 96% ee). Further applications on asymmetric transformations are currently being studied in our laboratory.

4.2.5 General procedure for the synthesis of 8
To a solution of 2-diphenylphosphine benzaldehyde (4 mmol) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (THF) (50 mL) was added tetraethyl titanate (8 mmol). The resulting solution was stirred at 0 ℃. Compound 7 (4 mmol) in anhydrous THF (15 mL) was added by syringe. After stirring at 0 ℃ for 2 h, the mixture was diluted with EtOAc, then washed with saturated sodium chloride solution and filtered with celite. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (40 mL×3). The organic layers were combined and dried over MgSO4. After filtration and concentration, the resulting crude compound 8 was obtained without further purification.
