Diastereoselective Synthesis of P‐Chirogenic and Atropisomeric 2,2′‐Bisphosphino‐1,1′‐binaphthyls Enabled by Internal Phosphine Oxide Directing Groups

Abstract

Asymmetric Hydrogenation In their Research Article on page 8153, M. Zhu, W. Zuo et al. report a chiral diphosphine ligand that is both atropoisomeric and P‐chirogenic. A ruthenium–ligand catalyst exhibits good enantioselectivity in the asymmetric hydrogenation of 3‐methyl‐2‐butanone.
