Abstract

Chiral Pybox (pyridine-2,6-bis(oxazoline)) ligands can be cleanly and efficiently prepared on polystyrene support via a five-step solid-phase synthetic sequence. Cu(I)-complexed polymer-bound Pybox was used as a catalyst in the first heterogeneously catalyzed asymmetric addition of alkynes to imines. Best enantioselectivity was observed with tBu-substituted oxazolines.
