(R)-(+)-2,2'-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl

Reaction

1. (R)-BINAP or (R)-Tol-BINAP can be combined with dichloro(1,5-cyclooctadiene)ruthenium to form precursors to NOYORI CATALYST SYSTEMS. These systems exhibit very high catalytic activity and enantioselectivity in the hydrogenation of a wide range of substrates. NOYORI CATALYST SYSTEMS have been shown to effect highly enantioselective hydrogenation of functionalized ketones where the substituents are dialkylamino, hydroxy, siloxy, carbonyl, ester, amide or thioester.

Uses

Useful ligand for transition metal catalyzed asymmetric reactions, including hydrogenation and disilylation. 2,2′-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl and its rhodium and ruthenium derivatives are highly selective homogeneous catalysts used for the reduction of aryl ketones, β-keto esters, and α-amino ketones. They have also been used for asymmetric hydrogenation and hydroformylation of olefins, asymmetric Heck reactions, and asymmetric isomerizations of allyls.
Complex with Ag(I) used to catalyze an asymmetric aldol reaction between alkenyl trichloroacetates and aldehydes. Also used with Ag(I) to catalyze an enantioselective hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of azo compounds.

Uses

Chiral ligand for metal mediated asymmetric catalysis.
