A number of chiral bisphosphines related to DiPAMP(1) were prepared and evaluated in asymmetric catalysis. Many variants were closely equivalent but none were superior to the parent compound. In addition, some monophosphines containing sulfone substituents were quite effective. These had the particular advantage of being usable in water solution. Several new DIOP derivatives were tried in the hydroformylation of vinyl acetate but only modest enantiomeric excesses were achieved. A 72% enantiomeric excess was achieved on dehydrovaline under relatively forcing conditions using DiCAMP(3). This result was remarkable since these phosphine ligands generally work very poorly, if at all, on tetrasubstituted olefins.

O

ver the past decade the use of chiral phosphine ligands c o m plexée! with r h o d i u m to effect an asymmetric hydrogénation of enamide precursors o f α-amino acids has been h i g h l y effective (J, 2). E v e n though the enantiomeric excess (ee) has turned out to be a very sensitive function of ligand structure, a considerable number of h i g h l y successful phosphines have been discovered. T h e field as a p p l i e d to enamides has matured now to a program o f finding ligands with mar ginal improvements such as water solubility, faster rates, ease of syn thesis, and also a study of mechanisms. W h e n one turns to other prochiral unsaturates not related to enamides, o p t i m i z i n g b y varying ligand structure has been only mar ginally productive, and the 9 0 - 9 5 % ee so easily obtained w i t h ena mides has remained w e l l out o f reach for the most part. In several cases these low results persist i n spite of having been the subject of a considerable research effort. 0065-2393/82/0196-0325$05.00/0 © 1982 American Chemical Society

Experimental

All compounds were characterized by MS and by NMR. In most cases only small amounts were needed for catalytic studies. In Situ Catalyst. Bisphosphine (.05 mmol) and Rh(COD)AcAc (17, 18) (.05 mmol) were weighed into a 6-mL vial. Air was displaced with nitrogen and 5 mL of peroxide-free, 88% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) was added while bubbling through a small stream of nitrogen. The vial was sealed with a septum and supersonically stirred until solution was complete. For a standard run, 0.5 mL (0.005 mmol of complex) was used to hydrogenate 1.0 g (4.88 mmol) of AAC in 25 ml of 88% IPA at 50°C and 3 atm. The ee was measured by diluting to 100 mL and comparing the optical rotation with a blank run in the same manner (3). This in situ catalyst is suitable for reducing acids which provide a proton source to release the AcAc. When reducing neutral substrates, one must either add .005 mmol of HCl or use a preformed solid catalyst of the type [Rh(COD)(Bisphosphine)] B F 4 (3). (R,R)-l,2-Ethanediylbis[o-hydroxyphenyl)phenylphosphine] (Com pound 12). In a flame-dried, nitrogen-purged 100-mL round bottom flask equipped with a nitrogen inlet, magnetic stirring bar, and syringe septum was placed 3.0 g (16.12 mmol) diphenylphosphine in 50 ml of the T H F (freshly distilled from sodium ketyl). A solution of η-butyl lithium in hexane (10 mL, 16.1 mmol) was syringed in over several minutes. After stirring at room tem perature for 5 min, 2.5 g (5.45 mmol DiPAMP(l) was added in one portion, and the resulting solution stirred at room temperature for 60 h. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the resulting material was taken up in H 0 - N a O H - C H C l . Sodium hydroxide was added until both layers were homogeneous. The water layer was separated and carefully acidified with HCl, and the phosphine was extracted with CH C1 . The organic layer was separated and dried with potassium carbonate, and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give 1.54 g of white foam. Final purification was accomplished by crystallization from C H O H (4 mL)/acetone (2 mL)/deionized water (1 mL) at - 3 ° C . Within 2 h 1.09 g of product were obtained (crys tallized with 1.5 mol of acetone per mole of product). +

T h e ratio o f l i g a n d to metal was varied from 1 to 6 a n d the best results were obtained only at h i g h ratios. Isolated yields i n the hydroformylation ran about 7 5 - 8 5 % . Rotations were measured on d i s t i l l e d aldehyde a n d compared w i t h a standard for pure α-acetoxypropanal: [a] ° = -34.9°C (5.0, toluene). T h i s standard was obtained i n two ways.

A comparison of the rotation obtained w i t h the literature (19) for pure S-acid [a]l° = -49.3°C (7.2, C H C 1 ) was used to arrive at the 34.9°C figure for pure S-aldehyde.
