New chiral carborane containing amidophosphites containing the BINOL fragment (BINOL stands for 2,2´ dihydroxy 1,1´ binaphthyl) have been synthesized. The study of ef ficiency of these compounds as ligands in the Rh catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of enamides in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO 2 ) and CH 2 Cl 2 showed that enantioselectivity of the process is considerably higher in scCO 2 .

Isomeric carborane containing phosphite ligands possessing different electronic properties have been synthesized. Their use in the Pd catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura reaction involving activated aryl bromides showed that phosphite with 9 o carborane substituent has proved more efficient, with carboranyl phosphite having 1 m carborane fragment being more efficient in the reactions with nonactivated aryl bromides.
