Gc. Jia et al., SYNTHESIS OF THE CHIRAL TRIPHOSPHINE (S,S)-PHP(CH(2)CHMECH(2)PPH(2))(2) AND ITS METAL-COMPLEXES, Organometallics, 15(20), 1996, pp. 4235-4239
The chiral triphosphine ligand (S,S)-PhP(CH(2)CHMeCH(2)PPh(2))2, ttp,
was synthesized by the reaction of (S)-Ph(2)PCH(2)CHMeCH(2)Cl and PhP
H(2) in the presence of LDA. Reactions of ttp with RuCl2(PPh(3))3, [R
hCl(COD)](2), and CoCl2 produced RuCl2(ttp), RhCl(ttp*), and CoCl2-(t
tp), respectively. These compounds were characterized by elemental an
alysis and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. The structure of RhCl(ttp)
has been determined by X-ray diffraction.
