Novel bidentate chiral N-heterocyclic carbene-phosphine iridium complexes [(cod)Ir(Ph2PC6H4CHR-1-NHC-3-R1)] (NHC = 2-imidazolylidene, 2-imidazolidinylidene, benzimidazolylidene; R = Me, Et, iPr; R1 = Me, iPr, CHMePh, PhCH2) have been synthesized and evaluated in the asym. hydrogenation of aryl ketones into chiral benzyl alcs. Reported catalytic systems require base additives and, if excluded, need elevated temperature or high pressure of hydrogen gas to achieve satisfactory reactivity. The developed catalysts showed extremely high reactivity and good enantioselectivity under base-free and mild conditions. In the presence of 1 mol % catalyst under 1 bar hydrogen pressure at room temperature, hydrogenation was complete in 30 min giving up to 96% ee. Again, this high reactivity was achieved in additive-free conditions. Mechanistic experiments demonstrated that balloon pressure of hydrogen was sufficient to form the activate species by reducing and eliminating the 1,5-cyclooctadiene ligand. The pre-activated catalyst was able to hydrogenate acetophenone with 89% conversion in 5 min. In the experiment, the researchers used (R)-8-(Diphenylphosphino)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-amine(cas: 960128-64-7SDS of cas: 960128-64-7)
(R)-8-(Diphenylphosphino)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-amine(cas:960128-64-7) is one of aminophosphine type ligands. An increased interest in aminophosphine type ligands used for asymmetric synthesis has been witnessed.SDS of cas: 960128-64-7 This growth in popularity of aminophosphine ligands in asymmetric synthesis is in part due to the growing number of convenient synthetic pathways leading to useful ligand sets.
