Diastereoselective Radical Oxidative C-H Aminations toward Chiral Atropoisomeric (P, N) Ligand Precursors.

A new class of chiral atropoisomeric (P, N) ligand precursors has been obtained with excellent diastereoselectivities and high yields through diastereoselective metal-free intramolecular radical oxidative C-H amination with chiral phosphamide as the auxiliary group. This method provides a concise and highly valuable pathway for the synthesis of enantiopure aminophosphine ligands in large-scale. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
