The synthesis of the first three aminophosphine-carboxyphosphinite dip
hosphanes derived directly from alpha-amino acids is presented. These
ligands were applied in the asymmetric hydrogenation of dihydro-2,4-di
methyl-2,3-furandione giving the corresponding pantolactone with up to
42% ee. They were also involved, in association with platinum, in the
asymmetric hydroformylation of styrene giving the branched aldehyde w
ith low ee (<5%). (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
