For the asymmetric isomerization of geranyl- or neryldiethylamine ((E)- or (Z)-1, resp.) and allyl alcohols geraniol or nerol ((E)- or (Z)-2, resp.) to citronellal (4) in the presence of a [Rh-1(ligand)cydoocta-1,5-diene)](+) catalyst, the atropic ligands 5-11 are compared under homogeneous and polymer-supported conditions with the non-C-2-symmetrical diphosphino ferrocene ligands 12-16. The Bu-t-josiphos ligand 13 or daniphos ligand 19, available in both antipodal series, already catalyse the reaction of (E)-1 at 20 degrees (97% e.e.) and favourably compare with the binap ligand 5 (see Table I). Silica-gel- or polymer-supported diphosphino ligands usually afford similar selectivity as compared to the corresponding ligands applied under homogeneous conditions, but are generally less reactive. In this context, a polymer-supported ligand of interest is the polymer-anchored binap (R)-6, in terms of reactivity, selectivity, and recoverability, with a turnover of more than 14400.
