Application

  • Catalyst for asymmetric hydrogenation of quinolines catalyzed by iridium complexes of BINOL-derived diphosphonites
  • Ligand in asymmetric Ni-catalyzed hydrocyanation of styrene and other vinylarenes
This diphosphonite ligand has been successfully employed in Noyori-type asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of prochiral ketones.

Manfred T Reetz et al.
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 128(4), 1044-1045 (2006-01-26)
A BINOL-derived diphosphonite having a xanthene backbone is an excellent bidentate ligand in Ru-catalyzed 2-propanol-based transfer hydrogenation of aryl/alkyl and alkyl/alkyl ketones (ee = 76-99%). Even notoriously difficult ketones such as isopropyl methyl ketone are reduced with extraordinarily high enantioselectivity
