Abstract

Glyoxal bis-hydrazone derived from (S,S)-1-amino-2,5-diphenylpyrrolidine is an excellent ligand for phosphine-free, asymmetric Suzuki-Miyaura cross couplings. The high catalytic activity of the [PdCl2(bis-hydrazone)] complex allows the synthesis of enantiomerically enriched biaryls with different substitution patterns with good enantioselectivities even at room temperature.
