Abstract

(2R,3S)-2-Methylsulfonyloxymeihyl-3-methylsulfonyloxy-tetrahydropyran (4), derived from n-glucose, is diphenylphosphinated to (2R,3R)-2-diphenylphosphinomethyl-3-diphenylphosphino-tetrahydropyran (7), which is formed as aminor product. Compound 8 is the predominant product, formed on 3,4-elimination. Preparation
and characterization of the rhodium(I) complexes 10-12 is described.
Complex 10 of bidentate Iigand 7 exhibits in hydrogenation of Z-a-N-acetylaminocinnamic acid enantioselectivity comparable to that obtained with rhodium(I) complex of (-)-DIOP (-70010e. e.). Saturated monophosphine, (2S)-2-diphenylphosphinomethyl-tetrahydropyran (9) affords mixed rhodium(I) complex (11, 12), which exhibits low enantioselectivity.
