| Abstract: | Hydrogenation of α-acetamidocinnamic acid with chiral aminomethylphosphine complexes of rhodium(I), Rh(cyclo-octa-1, 5-diene) {(R2PCH2)2NR1}]-PF6 (R = Ph or Cy, R1 = D(+)-CHMePh, L-CHMeCO2Et, (R)(+)-bornyl) shows no asymmetric induction. The hydroformylation of styrene using the catalyst mixture PtCl2(P–P)]/SnCl2 shows asymmetric induction with up to 31% enantiomeric excess of 2-phenyl-propanol being observed. |
