M. Dieguez et al., Novel diphosphite derived from d-gluco-furanose provides high regio- and enantioselectivity in Rh-catalysed hydroformylation of vinyl arenes, CHEM COMMUN, (17), 2000, pp. 1607-1608
Both high enantioselectivity (91%) and high regioselectivity (98.8%) are ac
hieved under mild reaction conditions in the Rh-catalysed hydroformylation
of vinyl arenes with a new chiral diphosphite ligand derived from the readi
ly available D-(+)-glucose.
