Chiral dinuclear rare-earth metal complexes RE 2 L n 2 (n = 1, RE = Y(1), Eu(2), Nd(3), La(4), Gd(5); n = 2, RE = Eu(6), Gd( 7)) stabilized by the corresponding Trost ligandswere prepared and three unknown complexes 5−7 were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. The chiral rare-earth metal complexes 1−7 displayed high reactivity in the asymmetric hydrophosphonylation of α,β-unsaturated ketones, and 5 mol % of complex 7 together with 10 mol % of chiral diamine (1S,2S)-1,2-cyclohexanediamine were proved to be the optimal catalyst combination. Various hydrophosphonylation products with excellent yields and high to excellent enantiomeric excess (ee) values were obtained in toluene (up to 99% yield, >99% ee).
