The aminophosphine-phosphinites and related ligands: synthesis, coordination chemistry and enantioselective catalysis

The synthesis and coordination chemistry of aminophosphine-phosphinites (AM PP) and closely related ligands is reviewed. Asymmetric catalytic reactions involving organometallic-AMPP complexes are presented. Examples of enantio selective C-C bond formation in the presence of nickel- (dienes and diene-o lefins dimerization,, allylic substitution) and palladiumAMPP catalysts (nu cleophilic addition to allylic substrates), hydroformylation based on plati num and rhodium complexes, rhodium-based hydrosilylation, hydrogenation of C double bond C and C double bond O bonds in the presence of rhodium and ru thenium complexes and home Diels-Alder catalyzed by cobalt species are pres ented.
