title: An efficient and highly stereoselective synthesis of new P-chiral 1,5-diphosphanylferrocene ligands and their use in enantioselective hydrogenation.
abstract: An efficient and highly stereoselective synthesis of P-chiral 1,5-diphosphanylferrocene ligands has been developed, and the introduction of P-chirality in ferrocene-based phosphine ligands enhances the enantioselective discrimination produced by the corresponding catalyst when matching of the planar chirality, the chirality at carbon and the chirality at phosphorus occurs.
