Bm. Choudary et al., NEW CHIRAL PHOSPHINES DERIVED FROM CARBOHYDRATES - SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND APPLICATION IN HYDROGENATION, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. B: organic chemistry, including medical chemistry, 33(2), 1994, pp. 152-155
Synthesis and characterization of new chiral phosphines derived from c
arbohydrates such as D-mannitol and D-sorbitol have been described. Th
e chiral phosphine complexes display moderate enantioselectivity in th
e asymmetric hydrogenation of methyl ester of benzamidocinmamic acid.
