Fluorous phosphane ligand

Scheme 3.2 Design and synthesis of the fluorous phosphane ligands and the catalyst for fluorous biphasic hydroformylation [8].

Scheme 3.3 One example of the synthesis of a fluorous phosphane ligand and one of the variety of reactions catalyzed by fluorous transition metal complexes [18g].

After publication of details of the biphasic catalytic hydroformylation system in 1994 many applications of the same concept were found. A variety of fluorous triaryl phosphane ligands was synthesized to enable recycling of precious transition metal catalysts [10b, 18] (Scheme 3.3).
