The asymmetric isomerization of primary allylic alcohols to chiral aldehydes using iridium-catalysts bearing P,N-MaxPHOX ligands has been studied. These catalysts can be fine-tuned as they present three different stereogenic centers to modulate both the reactivity and enantioselectivity of a family of different substrates. The experimental part is supported by a DFT study of the reaction mechanism, which provides new insights into the key steps of this transformation.
