Catalyst-Directed Diastereoselectivity in Hydrogenative Couplings of Acetylene to α-Chiral Aldehydes: Formal Synthesis of All Eight
Hydrogenative coupling of acetylene to α-chiral aldehydes using enantiomeric rhodium catalysts ligated by (S)-MeO-BIPHEP and (R)-MeO-BIPHEP delivers the diastereomeric products of carbonyl-(Z)-butadienylation with good to excellent levels of catalyst directed diastereofacial selectivity. Diastereomeric
(R)-(6,6′-Dimethoxy-[1,1′-biphenyl]-2,2′-diyl)bis(diphenylphosphine) (cas: 133545-16-1) belongs to chiral phosphine ligands. At present, the synthesis of new chiral phosphines designed specifically for nucleophilic organocatalysis remains a significant challenge. Effective chiral catalysts for nucleophilic phosphine catalysis are scarce, seriously limiting the development of asymmetric variants. Formula: C38H32O2P2
