Click-Connected Ligand Scaffolds: Macrocyclic Chelates for Asymmetric Hydrogenation
摘要:
Click chemistry is used to construct ligand scaffolds for a series of chiral diphosphites. Enantioselectivity as high as 97% ee is obtained using these click ligands in rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation. Control experiments and spectroscopic data suggest that a 16-membered PP-macrocyclic Rh(I) chelate is formed.
