Abstract
Enantiopure Cp*-substituted 3.4-dimethyl-5-phenylphosphametallocene- 2-methanols (M=Fe, Ru) have been prepared from the corresponding 2-carboxy-(-)-menthylphospholide anion and elaborated into 2-CH 2PPh2 phosphametallocenes (13: M = Fe: 14: M = Ru) and 2-CH2PtBuR substituted phospharuthenocenes (R = tBu, Me). The crystal structures of complexes [Rh(1,5-cod)(η2-L)]+BF 4- (L = 13, 14) reveal significantly different aryl group configurations. Comparative studies of the hydrogenation of para-substituted N-acetylcinnamate esters with these pre-catalysts show a superior performance for the phospharuthenocene derivative in terms of both rate and enantioselectivity.
