“…Phosphoramidites L9, 37 L11, 38 L12, 39 and L13 40 derived from dimethyl BINOL, biphenol, spirobiindane diol, and TADDOL, respectively, unexpectedly resulted in higher reactivity than L8 but poorer selectivity (entries 9, 11-13). Bisphosphorus ligands L14, L15, 41 and L16 42 gave poor conversion and selectivity (entries [14][15][16]. The effects of solvents and additives were examined with using 2 mol % Pd(dba) 2 and 8 mol % phosphoramidite L8 (Table 5).…”
