A new P-chiral bisphosphine, 1,1''-bis[(t-butyl)methylphosphino]ferrocene, as an effective ligand in catalytic asymmetric hydrosilylation of simple ketones

摘要

The asymmetric hydrosilylation of simple ketones was ctalyzed by a rhodium complex with a P-chiral bisphosphine, 1,1'-bis[(t-butly)methylphosphino]ferrocene, to give optically active alcohols with enantiomeric excesses of up to 92%.
