Am. Masdeubulto et al., ASYMMETRIC HYDROFORMYLATION OF STYRENE USING DITHIOLATO BRIDGED DIRHODIUM CATALYST WITH BDPP AS CHIRAL LIGAND, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 6(8), 1995, pp. 1885-1888
Asymmetric hydroformylation of styrene is performed using dinuclear th
iolato bridged rhodium complexes with BDPP as the chiral auxiliary lig
and. The optical yields observed depend on the starting organometallic
complex. When (+) and (-) dithiolate bridged complexes and (+) and (-
) diphosphine are combined there is one pair which enhances the enanti
oselectivity.
