Abstract

We developed a novel Pd-catalysed enantioselective synthesis of C–N bonds using the chiral scaffold of DNA. The non-covalently linked [Pd(phen)(OAc)2] with st-DNA catalysed the Markonicov hydroamination of β-nitrostyrene with methoxyamine for the first time with >75% enantiomeric excess (ee) in an aqueous buffer (pH 7.4) at room temperature.
