La Química Organometálica de los elementos de las series de transición ha experimentado un notable desarrollo durante las tres últimas décadas y en la actualidad constituye un área de gran importancia debido al interés teórico y a sus diversas aplicaciones en síntesis orgánica y en procesos de carácter técnico. Los acilos de los metales de...

The hydrogenation of 2-methylquinoline with Ir catalysts based on chiral phosphine-phosphites has been investigated. It has been observed that the reaction is very sensitive to the nature of the ligand. Optimization of the catalyst, allowed by the highly modular structure of these phosphine-phosphites, has improved the enantioselectivity of the...

The asymmetric hydrogenation of prochiral enamides with Rh complexes bearing chiral phosphine–phosphite ligands (P–OP) supported on sulphonated polystyrene resins has been studied. The complexes have been supported by simple treatment of preformed [Rh(diolefin)(P–OP)](BF4) with the Li salt of resins. In MeOH, high enantioselectivities were...

A family of modularly designed chiral bis(1,3,2-diazaphospholidines) with N-aryl substituents (NP-PN) is reported. These compounds have been prepared in two steps from readily available (R,R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane and tetrachlorodiphosphines. Examples in the set differ in the backbone and the aryl substituents, aiming at their application in...

The enantioselective catalytic hydrogenation of N-(3,4-dihydronaphthalen-2- yl) amides (1) with rhodium catalysts bearing phosphine-phosphite ligands 4 has been studied. A wide catalyst screening, facilitated by the modular structure of 4, has found a highly enantioselective catalyst for this reaction. This catalyst gives a 93% ee in the...

Going chiral! Highly enantioselective catalytic hydrogenations of enol esters 1 by using a Rh catalyst bearing a POP ligand are described (see scheme; NBD=norbornadiene). The catalytic system has a broad scope and allows the preparation of a wide range of chiral esters 2 bearing diverse alkyls or a benzyl group with high...

Mildly does it: A highly enantioselective catalyst for the hydrogenation of N-aryl imines is described (see scheme). This catalyst offers practical advantages because it operates under very mild conditions and is based on an Ru complex with a diamine as the sole chiral ligand.

Phosphine-phosphites 3a and 3b, derived from diphenylhydroxymethyl phosphine have been prepared. From these ligands [Rh(COD)(3a)]BF4 5a and RuCl2(3b)[(S,S)-DPEN] 6b (DPEN = 1,2-diphenylethylenediamine) were synthesized and their structure determined by X-ray diffraction. Ligands 3 are characterized by a small bite angle of 83°. In addition, 5a...
