Abstract
A new optically active diphosphine ligand, [(5,6),(5′,6′)-bis(ethylenedioxy)biphenyl-2,2′-diyl]bis(diphenylphosphine) (SYNPHOS®) has been synthesized and used in ruthenium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation. This new ligand has been compared to other diphosphines (BINAP and MeO-BIPHEP), regarding their dihedral angles and the enantioselectivity in the ruthenium mediated hydrogenation reaction.
