Abstract
Complexes of the ligand (S,S)-1-(2-diphenylphosphanyl-naphtalen-1-yl)-3-(2-isopropyl-phenyl)-4,5-diphenyl-imidazolin-2-ylidene, a representative of a new class of chiral ligands, were obtained via a short route starting from (S,S)-1,2-diphenyl-ethylen-1,2-diamine; a Rh-complex was found to promote catalytic hydrogenation of α,β unsaturated esters with up to 99% ee.
Key words

The rhodium complex (S,S)-6 was also tested in the catalytic asymmetric addition of phenylboronic acid to enones. Using 3 mol% of the complex (S,S)-6 enantioselectivities up to 94% could be achieved

23Representative Procedure for Catalytic Hydrogenation: Preparation of (R)-8: An autoclave was charged with dimethyl itaconate (158 mg, 1.00 mmol), (S,S)-6 (0.9 mg, 1.0 µmol) and CH2Cl2 (15 mL). The autoclave was then sealed and pressurized to 30 bar of H2. The reaction mixture was stirred for 20 h at r.t. The solution was passed over a short plug of silica gel with CH2Cl2 as eluent. After evaporation of the solvent, 2-methyl-succinic acid dimethyl ester was obtained in quantitative yield. The ee value was determined to be 98.2% ee by GC on a chiral phase (analytical data cf. Table [1] ).
