SYNTHESIS OF A CHIRAL PYRIDYLPHOSPHINE LIGAND AND A COMPARISON OF ITSRHODIUM COMPLEX WITH THE STRUCTURALLY SIMILAR ARYLPHOSPHINE RHODIUM CATALYSTS IN THE ASYMMETRIC HYDROGENATION OF 2-(6'-METHOXY-2'-NAPHTHYL)PROPENOIC ACID
Wh. Hu et al., SYNTHESIS OF A CHIRAL PYRIDYLPHOSPHINE LIGAND AND A COMPARISON OF ITSRHODIUM COMPLEX WITH THE STRUCTURALLY SIMILAR ARYLPHOSPHINE RHODIUM CATALYSTS IN THE ASYMMETRIC HYDROGENATION OF 2-(6'-METHOXY-2'-NAPHTHYL)PROPENOIC ACID, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 9(18), 1998, pp. 3241-3246
A chiral pyridylphosphine ligand is[di-3'-(2',6'-dimethoxypyridyl)phos
phino]pentane was synthesized. The rhodium catalyzed asymmetric hydrog
enation of 2-(6'-methoxy-2'-naphthyl)propenoic acid was studied by usi
ng this ligand in comparison with the structurally similar Skewphos an
