SYNTHESES OF NEW BIDENTATE THIOETHYLPHOSPHINE LIGANDS AND THEIR RHODIUM (I) COMPLEXES WITH CARBOHYDRATES AS CHIRAL GROUPS

Abstract
Substitution-, addition- and rearrangement reactions on easily available derivatives of carbohydrates (1, 2 and 4) with diphenylvinylphosphine or 2-mercaptoethyldiphenylphosphine gave chiral bidentate β-thioethylphosphine ligands (5–9). These compounds form complexes with rhodium (I) in which ligands are coordinated to the metal centre by both the phosphine and the thioether function (10–12). Ligands as well as complexes were examined by Circular Dichroism (CD) spectroscopy.
