Mixtures of monodentate P-ligands as a means to control the diastereoselectivity in Rh-catalyzed hydrogenation of chiral alkenes

The previously reported concept of using mixtures of monodentate ligands in a combinatorial manner in order to influence enantio- or regioselectivity of transition metal catalyzed processes has been extended to include diastereoselectivity. Accordingly, 1,2- and 1,3-asymmetric induction in the Rh-ca...

Accordingly, 1,2- and 1,3-asymmetric induction in the Rh-catalyzed hydrogenation of a chiral allylic alcohol and a chiral homo-allylic alcohol has been studied by using mixtures of monodentate P-ligands. It was found that appropriate 1:1 mixtures of two different P-ligands enhance the degree of diastereoselectivity relative to the use of the respective pure ligands themselves. Here, as in the previous cases regarding enantio- or regioselectivity, this type of combinatorial catalysis leads to improved catalytic profiles without the need to prepare new ligands.
