Enantiomerically pure (S,S) -1,2-bis[(o-alkylphenyl) phenylphosphino]ethanes (o-alkylphenyl = o-methylphenyl, o-ethylphenyl, o-isopropylphenyl, 5',6',7',8'-tetrahydro-naphthyl) , (S,S) -1,2-bis (alkyl-methylphosphino) ethanes (alkyl = t-butyl, 1-adamantyl, 1-methylcyclo-hexyl, 1,1-diethylpropyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl) (abbreviated as BisP*) , and (R,R) -1,1-bis (alkylmethylphosphino) methanes (alkyl = isopropyl, t-butyl, cyclohexyl, phenyl) (abbreviated as MiniPHOS) were prepared from phosphorus trichloride via short routes using phosphine-boranes as intermediates. The crystal structures of cationic rhodium complexes, [Rh ((S,S) -1,2-bis ((phenyl) (5',6',7',8'-tetrahydronaphthyl) phosphino) ethane) (cod)]BF4, [Rh ((S,S) -t-Bu-BisP* (nbd))]BF4, and [Rh ((R,R) -t-Bu-MiniPHOS) 2]PF6, clearly indicate the ideal asymmetric environments. These ligands exhibited an excellent to almost perfect level of enantioselectivity in asymmetric hydrogenations of a-dehydroamino acid derivatives and other catalytic asymmetric reactions.

Chiral rigid and electron-donating phosphocyclic phosphine ligands and modular atropisomeric biaryl phosphine ligands were designed and synthesized. The performance of these chiral ligands in the asymmetric hydrogenations of prochiral dehydroamino acid derivatives, enamides, imines, keto esters, and ketones has been demonstrated to be excellent.
