Asym. hydrogenation of aromatic amino ketones using homogeneous chiral nickel catalyst proceeds with high diastereoselectivity and excellent enantioselectivity via dynamic kinetic resolution In AcOH the hydrogenation proceeds diastereoselectively with retention of the configuration at the stereogenic center. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, (1R)-1-[Bis(4-methoxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)phosphino]-2-[(1R)-1-(dicyclohexylphosphino)ethyl]ferrocene (cas: 360048-63-1Application of 360048-63-1).
(1R)-1-[Bis(4-methoxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)phosphino]-2-[(1R)-1-(dicyclohexylphosphino)ethyl]ferrocene (cas: 360048-63-1) belongs to chiral phosphine ligands. Although many reactions require more nucleophilic trialkylphosphines as catalysts, only a few chiral trialkylphosphines are available. Trivalent phosphorus compounds called phosphines have a tetrahedral electron-group geometry which makes them structurally analogous to amines.Application of 360048-63-1
