The potential of P,O‐iminosugar based ligands in the Ir‐catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of minimallyfunctionalizedolefins is presented. These new ligands were prepared from easily available carbohydrates (D‐mannose, D‐ribose and D‐arabinose). The stereochemical and polyfunctional diversity of carbohydrates allowed the modulation of the ligands, both from their electronic properties and the rigidity
isomerization of primary allylic alcohols to chiral aldehydes using iridium‐catalysts bearing P,N‐MaxPHOX ligands has been studied. These catalysts can be fine‐tuned as they present three different stereogenic centers to modulate both the reactivity and enantioselectivity of a family of different substrates. The experimental part is supported by a DFT study of the reaction mechanism, which provides new

This work identifies a family of Ir/phosphite-sulfoximine catalysts that has been successfully used in the asymmetrichydrogenation of olefins with poorly coordinative or noncoordinative groups. In comparison with analogue Ir/phosphine-sulfoximine catalysts previously reported, the presence of a phosphite group extended the range of olefins than can be efficiently hydrogenated. High enantioselectivities
Ir‐phosphinomethyl‐oxazoline complexes have been identified as efficient, highlyenantioselective catalysts for the asymmetric hydrogenation of 3,3‐disubstituted allylicalcohols and related homoallylic alcohols. In contrast to other N,Pligand complexes, which require weakly coordinating solvents, such as dichloromethane, these catalysts perform well in more ecofriendly THF or 2‐MeTHF. Their synthetic
Iridium-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation with Simple Cyclohexane-Based P/S Ligands: <i>In Situ</i> HP-NMR and DFT Calculations for the Characterization of Reaction Intermediates
We report a reduced but structurally valuable phosphite/phosphinite-thioether ligand library for the Ir-hydrogenation of 40 minimally functionalized alkenes, including relevant examples with poorly coordinative groups. We found that enantiomeric excesses are mainly dependent on the substrate structure and on some ligand parameters (i.e., the type of thioether/phosphorus moieties and the configuration of the phosphite group), whereas the substituents of the biaryl phosphite moiety had little impact. By tuning the ligand parameters we were able to find highly selective catalysts for a range of substrates (ee's up to 99%). These phosphite/phosphinite-thioether ligands have a simple backbone and thus yield simple NMR spectra that reduce signal overlap and facilitate the identification of relevant intermediates. Therefore, by combining HP-NMR spectroscopy and theoretical studies, we were also able to identify the catalytically competent Ir-dihydride alkene species, which made it possible to explain the enantioselectivity obtained.
