Novel monodentate spiro phosphorus ligands for rhodium-catalyzed hydrogenation reactions.
Novel monodentate phosphorus ligands containing the 1,1'-spirobiindane backbone have been synthesized and applied in the asymmetric rhodium-catalyzed hydrogenation of functionalized olefins, providing excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99.3% ee).
