Abstract
Three new expanded phosphanes were synthesized by reaction of 1,2-bisphosphanobenzene with optically active derivatives of acrylic acid: (R)-(+)-N-methyl-N-(1-phenethyl)acrylamide, (1S,2R,5S)-(+)-menthyl acrylate and (1S)-endo-(-)-bornyl acrylate. The three phosphanes with [Rh2(μ-Cl)2(COD)2] as in situ catalysts, as well as the isolated complexes [Rh(PP)(COD)]PF6, where PP and COD denote a phosphane and 1,5-cyclooctadiene, respectively, were tested in several enantioselective catalytic reactions.
