Am. Masdeubulto et al., ASYMMETRIC HYDROFORMYLATION OF STYRENE USING A RHODIUM CATALYST WITH BDPP AS THE CHIRAL LIGAND, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 7(6), 1996, pp. 1829-1834
Asymmetric hydroformylation of styrene is performed using the availabl
e rhodium [Rh(mu-OMe)(COD)](2) complex with BDPP as the chiral auxilia
ry ligand, The enantiomeric excesses observed heavily depend on the ex
cess of diphosphine used and ee's of up to 60 % are achieved. The infl
uence of different P and T conditions is also discussed. Copyright (C)
