Highly Selective Asymmetric Hydrogenation Using a Three Hindered Quadrant Bisphosphine Rhodium Catalyst

Abstract: A concise synthesis of both enantiomers of ligand 2 and rhodium complex 5 is presented. The crux of the synthesis is a chiral HPLC separation of the enantiomers of 4. Rhodium complex 5 possesses three hindered quadrants in the steric environment within which a substrate binds. Evidence is presented that this configuration leads to high enantioselectivity (>99% ee) for rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of alpha-acetamido dehydroamino acids, 6a-e. High enantioselectivities are also reported for the hydr… Show more

“…Mechanistic aspects of catalyzed hydrogenation have previously mainly been studied with Pchirogenic C 2 symmetry diphosphanes, [33,[47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54] with a few examples of dissymmetric ligands having been mentioned. [55] Recently, Vogt's team and our own group have independently described a series of modified P-chirogenic EPHOS ligands 4 (Scheme 3) for catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation and hydroformylation reactions involving rhodium complexes. [56][57][58] These ligands, preparable from ephedrine as starting material by a versatile methodology, offer the potential for modification of the substituents on one or two P-centers.…”

“…In so doing, three quadrants in the coordination sphere will be blocked and the only one left free will be situated above the phospholyl plane at the opposite of the [Mn(CO) 2 (PPh 3 )] complexing group. Such geometries are known to favor enantioselection [10]. …”

“…Both good selectivity (98% ee) and high turnover numbers of 27,000 were achieved (Eq. 7.12 ) [49] . An Rh -Me -DuPhos complex also provides high enantioselectivity (97.7% ee) although from high catalyst loading ( S / C = 100) [200] .…”
