The application of some newly prepared aryl 3-bis(O-diphenylphosphino)
-beta-D-glucopyranosides 4b-g in form of their rhodium(I) chelates as
catalysts in asymmetric hydrogenation of dehydroamino acid derivatives
shows similar high enantioselectivities to the parent ligand Ph-beta-
glup 4a whose chelate has found industrial application for production
of L-dopa. The importance of all-equatorial arrangement of the pyranos
ide substituents for enantioselectivities of more than 90% ee is demon
strated by comparison with analogous structures carrying axial groups
and a rule could be set up. A spectroscopic investigation of some impo
rtant representatives is added.
