Abstract
Iridium catalysts derived from a phosphoramidite containing a biphenolate group, one distal chiral substituent at nitrogen and a large achiral cycloalkyl group were shown to react in all cases examined with nearly the same rates, regioselectivities, and enantioselectivities as catalysts derived from the previously reported, more elaborate ligands.
