Asymmetric amino termini, pine, process for the production thereof and a process for the asymmetric hydrogenation of olefins and of co - - and cn compounds containing

摘要

For the asymmetrical hydrogenation of substrates selected from prochiral olefins and compounds containing CO and/or CN groups, the olefin of interest here is contacted with a complex of a transition metal with an asymmetrical aminophosphine. The asymmetrical aminophosphine is selected from those of the formula PR@(NR2R3)3-x where R1, R2 and R3 are as defined in the claims. The catalytic system as a means for carrying out the abovementioned asymmetrical hydrogenation contains a complex obtained by a reaction starting from compounds of the formula (R3R2N)nX and a coordination compound of a metal from the transition series.
