Enantiopure tetra-ortho-substituted biphenyl phosphinoimine ligands (Ra,S)-3 and (Sa,S)-3 were synthesized via multistep reactions. The first asymmetric addition reactions of arylboronic acids to N-benzylisatin catalyzed by Pd(OAc)2 and (Ra,S)-3 were studied to provide 3-aryl-3-hydroxyoxindoles in moderate yields and enantioselectivities.
