A hybrid phosphorus ligand for highly enantioselective asymmetric hydroformylation
A new hybrid phosphorus ligand has been prepared starting from chiral NOBIN (2-amino-2'-hydroxy-1,1'-binaphthyl). Excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) have been achieved in the Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydroformylations of styrene derivatives and vinyl acetate.
