Abstract
AbstractNovel l‐tartaric acid based stereodynamic biphenylbisphosphinite ligands with anilino linkers were prepared as cyclic diamide compounds. The influence of the constitutional substitution pattern of the amino group at the aniline moiety on the diastereoselective formation of the ligand was investigated. While the meta‐anilino bridged ligands showed a highly dynamic behavior and no discrimination between (Rax) and (Sax) configuration, l‐tartaric acid substitution on ortho‐anilino bridged ligands leads to diastereoselective self‐alignment of the central biphenol axis, which controls the stereoselectivity of the ligand and catalyst. The experimental findings were corroborated by theoretical calculations. In the rhodium‐catalyzed enantioselective hydrogenation of methyl 2‐acetamidoacrylate (MAA), an enantiomeric ratio of 75 : 25 (R/S) was obtained for the ortho‐substituted ligand.
