Furanoside phosphite-phosphinite

The furanoside phosphite-phosphinite ligand 13, related to the previously diphosphinite ligands 12, was also applied to the asymmetric hydrogenation of N-arylimines, increasing the enantioselectivities up to 76% (Fig. 13) [26]. Precursors based on cationic [Ir(cod)2]BF4 provided better yields and enantioselectivities than...

Since carbohydrates constitute an inexpensive and highly modular chiral source for preparing chiral ligands," Claver et al. have reported the use of a series of thioether-phosphite" and thioether-phosphinite furanoside ligands" in the test palladium-catalysed allylic substitution reaction. In the first type of ligand, a systematic variation of the donor group attached to the carbon atom C5 indicated that the presence of a bulky phosphite functionality had a positive effect on the enantioselectivity. Indeed, the enantioselectivity was controlled mainly by the phosphite moiety. This was confirmed by the use of a ligand...
