Significance

A new proline-based ligand has been developed for the asymmetric arylation of ­aldehydes. The preparation of the catalyst is straightforward; the initial Heck arylation with ­arenediazonium salts in the presence of palladium proceeds nicely and further manipulation affords the final amino alcohol ligands. The diastereomers produced can easily be separated generating a useful ligand library.
