Subtleties in asymmetric catalyst structure: the resolution of a 6-phospha-2,4,8-trioxa-adamantane and its applications in asymmetric hydrogenation catalysis
Jonathan Hopewell, Piotr Jankowski, Claire L. McMullin, A. Guy Orpen and Paul G. Pringle
An efficient, classical resolution of the versatile P-ligand intermediate 6-phospha-2,4,8-trioxa-adamantane (CgPH) is described and the rhodium complex of the optically pure secondary phosphine
-CgPH is an active and moderately selective asymmetric hydrogenation catalyst.
