Abstract
The enantiopure bidentate indenyl-phosphine ligands (1S)-[2-(3H-inden-1-yl)-1-phenylethyl] diphenylphosphine (9) and [(2R)-2-cyclohexyl-2-(3H-inden-1-yl)ethyl]diphenylphosphine (18) were synthesized in 20% yield and three steps from (R)-styrene oxide and in 61% yield and four steps from vinylcyclohexane, respectively. In both cases ring opening of a spirocyclopropane-1,1'-indene with potassium diphenylphosphide was a key step. Addition of the lithium salts of 9 and 18 to [Rh(? -Cl)(CO)(2)](2) gave (?(5):?(1)-indenyl-CH2CH(Ph)PPh2)RhCO and (?(5):?(1)-indenyl-CH(Cy)CH2PPh2)RhCO as 75:25 and 78:22 mixtures of diastereoisomers, from which the major complexes were readily obtained by crystallization. The chiral centers in the linking chain ? and ? to the indenyl ring had thus induced good planar chirality of the complexed indenyl moiety. Both complexes were characterized by X-ray crystallography.
