The adducts of dirhodium tetraacylates and phosphines are characterized in solution by H and 31P NMR spectroscopy at room temperature. A differentiation of the enantiomers of chiral phosphine ligands is easily performed by NMR signal integration after adduct formation with the enantiopure Rh2[(R)-(+)-MTPA]4 complex (Rh*). Stereochemical aspects are discussed in terms of chiral discrimination and adduct diastereomerism. A second type of chiral recognition was discovered, namely, that between two ligand molecules in 2:1 adducts across the Rh2[(R)-(+)-MTPA]4 building block. Conditions for optimizing the experiment for the determination of enantiomeric composition of chiral phosphines by the “dirhodium method” are presented. The possibility of determining absolute configurations of chiral phosphines is briefly discussed. 1

Introduction Dirhodium and other dinuclear complexes have been studied intensively during the last few decades.1 They were applied frequently as homogeneous catalysts2 and as auxiliaries in the chirality determination of compounds with various functional groups by circular dichroism.3 It should be mentioned that dirhodium complexes are even in the focus of medicinal interest.4 In a series of papers5 we have studied the potential of the dirhodium complex Rh2[(R)-(+)-MTPA]4 [Rh*, * To whom correspondence should be addressed.

MTPA-H ) methoxytrifluoromethylphenylacetic acid ≡ Mosher’s acid; Scheme 1, top] as a solvating agent for the determination of enantiomeric ratios of various chiral monofunctional ligands. It has been shown that the “dirhodium method” is particularly suitable for softbase functionalities where the classical method of chiral lanthanide shift reagents (CLSR)6 usually fail. Typically, Rh* and ligands form kinetically labile adducts so that only averaged NMR signals can be observed for the ligand molecules in the room-temperature equilibria (in analogy to the CLSR method). In contrast to previously studied ligands (olefins, epoxides, nitriles, sulfoxides, iodides, phosphine chalcogenides, and selenides),5,7 phosphines form adducts8 in solution that are kinetically stable on the NMR timescale (Scheme 1, center), even at room temperature.9 Such unusual behavior of phosphine ligands has been noticed before by Drago et al.10 using achiral molecular systems (see below).

In the formula schemes the chiral dirhodium complex Rh* is represented by “[Rh-Rh]” and the phosphine ligands by “P” or by their compounds numbers 1-7.

were straightforward on the basis of literature data.11 The 1H signals were sometimes complex and overlapping, especially for phenyl groups attached to P. A particularly severe case is triphenylphosphine (1), so that we included tris(3-methylphenyl)phosphine (2) in our study in which the signals are much more dispersed but the spin-spin coupling parameters are expected to be very similar to those of 1. Likewise, 13C signals of pentafluorophenyl groups were obscured due to the manifold 19F,13C couplings. All NMR data of the free ligands and their 1:1 adducts are collected in Tables 1-7. (I) Achiral Phosphines: Adduct Formation. As noted before,9,10 phosphines are unique in forming adducts with dirhodium tetraacylates whose lifetimes are long enough to observe the individual adducts by solution NMR at room temperature (“frozen equilibria”). Moreover, they provide 31P signal splittings due to scalar 103Rh,31P coupling.9,10b Therefore, we regarded it necessary first to explore suitable experimental conditions for recording the NMR data of adducts with a variety of structurally different phosphines (e.g., 1-7). To this end, we started by investigating the mode of adduct formation and performed NMR titration experiments varying the molar ratios of the phosphines 1 and 3 (symbol P in Scheme 1, center) and the dirhodium complex Rh* (symbol [Rh-Rh]) from 1:1 (excess of (11) Pretsch, E.; Bu¨hlmann, P.; Affolter, C.

Using a 1:1 molar ratio, only the 31P signal of the 1:1 adduct appears at δ ) -35.3 as a double doublet due to the one- and two-bond couplings of 31P to 103Rh (Figure 1, top).
