Abstract

Oxidative coupling of 3-(3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid methyl ester ( 2) gave dimethyl 3,3′-(5,5′-di-tert-butyl-6,6′-dihydroxybiphenyl-3,3′-diyl)-dipropionate ( 1c), which upon phosphorylation/transesterification with a phosphochloridite derived from ( R)-binaphthol, formed the new unsymmetrical binaphthol-bridged diphosphite 4. A rhodium catalyst based on 4 as ligand gave predominantly iso-selectivity in the hydroformylation of selected styrenes but opposite regioselectivity with 2,6-disubstituted derivatives. New chelate metal complexes (acac)RhL, PdCl 2L and PtCl 2L have been synthesized by reacting 4 with (acac)Rh(CO) 2, PdCl 2(MeCN) 2 and PtCl 2(COD), respectively. The structure of obtained compounds is determined based on 1H, 13C, 31P and 195Pt NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry data.
