Novel diphosphite derived from d-gluco-furanose provides high regio- and enantioselectivity in Rh-catalysed hydroformylation of vinyl arenes

Abstract
Both high enantioselectivity (91%) and high regioselectivity (98.8%) are achieved under mild reaction conditions in the Rh-catalysed hydroformylation of vinyl arenes with a new chiral diphosphite ligand derived from the readily available D-(+)-glucose.
