Phosphines phosphites

High enantioselectivities and regioselectivities have been obtained using both mono- and 1,2-disubstituted prochinal olefins employing chiral phosphine phosphite (33,34) modified rhodium catalysts. For example, i7j -2-butene ia the presence of rhodium and (12) (33) gave (3)-2-meth5ibutanal ia an optical yield of 82% at a turnover number of 9.84. ... 

The ruthenium analogue of 47 Ru(ri5-C5Ph5)(CO)2Br (48) is also available, when Fe(CO)5 is replaced by Ru3(CO)12 [68]. A wide range of substitution products were obtained through replacement of both carbonyl and bromide ligand against two-electron ligands L such as phosphines, phosphites, and ethylene. Electrochemistry of these derivatives were studied in some detail.

The vast majority of phosphine/phosphite-substituted products involve F-ligand ligation at late transition metals. In contrast, phosphite ligands displaced rhenium-coordinated CO or acetylene in [RePt3(/i-dppm)3(CO)3(L)l", - which are the... 

Gold(I) complexes of the type [AuCl(PPh3)ra] (n= 1, 2) or [Au(N03)(PPh3)] show an excellent performance towards oxidative addition carbonylation or aromatic amines to form corresponding carbamates, and also towards the carbonilation of aliphatic amines to produce either alkylureas or formamides.2552,2553 Cationic gold(I) compounds of the type [AuL]+ where L = phosphine, phosphite, or arsine are excellent catalysts for the addition of alcohols to alkynes.2554... 

Modified rhodium systems show considerable activity in the hydroformylation of styrene to the branched aldehydes. Chiral diphosphines, diphosphites, and phosphine-phosphites have been the ligands most studied. Hydroformylation experiments have often been performed in situ but the characterization of intermediates has provided an interesting contribution to coordination chemistry.179... 

Most of the major developments in homogeneous transition metal-catalyzed hydrocyanation since the early 1980s have been reviewed 62 67 considerable effort in this area has focused on enantioselective reactions.68 In this regard, the emphasis has been on complexes of the group 10 metals (particularly Ni and Pd) incorporating new classes of phosphine, phosphite, and phos-phinite ligands.

The cationic complexes Rh(diene)L >+ (L is a tertiary phosphine, phosphite, or arsine) were reported by several groups in 1969- 1970 (7, p. 270), but Osborn et al. 129-132) first reported on their potential for hydrogenation of olefins, acetylenes, and ketones. Full details on these systems have now appeared 133-135), and the important equilibria governing the active catalysts are given in Eqs. (23)-(25). An important difference from... 

Dieguez et al. reported that phosphine-phosphite ligand 88 (Figure 9) gave 62% ee in the reaction of triethyl-aluminum with 2-cyclohexenone.131... 

Pizzano and Suarez described a convenient preparation of a series of new chiral phosphine-phosphites based on the easy demethylation of o-anisyl phosphines [124]. Rh-156a complex was found to be the most effective catalyst for the hydrogenation of dimethyl itaconate (99.6% ee), whereas 155b and 156a induced >99% ee in the hydrogenation of methyl N-2-acetamidocinnamate. Reetz... 

In contrast to the extensive studies on phosphine-phosphites, the corresponding phosphine-phosphinites are rarely exploited. Laschat introduced this design with a bicydic chiral skeleton derived from (lS)-(+)-camphorsulfonic acid [127]. The Rh-complex based on dimesitylphosphinite 154b was found to be the most reactive catalyst, and was used to produce methyl N-2-acetamidodnnamate, with 89% ee. 

Zhang reported two new (S)-BINOL based ligands phosphine-phosphite (S,R)-o-BINAPHOS 163 and phosphine-phosphinite (S)-o-BIPNITE 164 [128]. Applications of these ligands in the Rh-catalyzed hydrogenation of methyl N-2-acetamido-cinnamate and methyl N-2-acetamidoacrylate induced very high enantioselectiv-ities (>99% ee), and with a wide range of substrates. 

Scheme 44.10 Phosphine-phosphite ligand in enantioselective hydrogenation.

A general summary of the chemistry of H4Os4(CO)12 is given in Scheme 10 (159, 166). Substitution reactions with phosphine, phosphites, or pyridine have been observed. An addition reaction occurs with I2 to yield the anionic species [H3Os4(CO)12I] The X-ray structure of this anion has established that the iodide is bridging between two metal centers, to yield an Os4 "butterfly configuration in which one of the metal- metal bonds of the initial Os4 tetrahedron has been broken (Os-Os = 3.817 A) (Fig. 38). Interestingly, if the two Os-1... 

The chemistry of these compounds has not been investigated in detail. Scheme 12 summarizes some of the chemistry that has been established for the ruthenium complex RugClCO) (192). In general, the octahedral metal-carbido skeleton is maintained, substitution reactions occurring with phosphine, phosphites, and arsine ligands. Base attack leads to the production of the anion [Ru8C(CO)16P, which is... 

With tertiary phosphines, phosphites and iso-nitriles, the substitution of the carbonyl groups in Co4(CO)i2 and Rh4(CO)i2 occurs very easily up to the tri-substituted complex. It is sufficient to add slowly at room temperature a solution of the ligand to a solution of the dodecacarbonyl ... 

Abstract This chapter presents the latest achievements reported in the asymmetric hydroformylation of olefins. It focuses on rhodium systems containing diphosphites and phosphine-phosphite ligands, because of their significance in the subject. Particular attention is paid to the mechanistic aspects and the characterization of intermediates in the hydroformylation of vinyl arenes because these are the most important breakthroughs in the area. The chapter also presents the application of this catalytic reaction to vinyl acetate, dihydrofurans and unsaturated nitriles because of its industrial relevance.
