Diastereoselective synthesis of an argatroban intermediate, ethyl (2R,4R)-4-methylpipecolate, by means of a Mandyphos/rhodium complex-catalyzed hydrogenation was written by Ferraboschi, Patrizia;De Mieri, Maria;Grisenti, Paride;Lotz, Matthias;Nettekoven, Ulrike. And the article was included in Tetrahedron: Asymmetry in 2011.Reference of 133545-16-1 This article mentions the following:
The synthetic antithrombotic argatroban is a dipeptide between the nonproteinogenic (2R,4R)-4-methyl-2-piperidine carboxylic acid and
(R)-(6,6′-Dimethoxy-[1,1′-biphenyl]-2,2′-diyl)bis(diphenylphosphine) (cas: 133545-16-1) belongs to chiral phosphine ligands. Generally, the efficiency of nucleophilic phosphine catalysis often depends on the nature of the tertiary phosphine. Chiral phosphine catalysts: Nucleophilic phosphine catalysis often involves the formation of Lewis adducts, namely phosphonium (di)enolate zwitterions, as reaction intermediates.Reference of 133545-16-1
