A series of novel chiral diphosphite ligands have been synthesized from(1R,2R)-trans-1,2-cyclohexanediol,(1S,2S)-trans-1,2-cyclohexanediol, racemic trans-1,2-cyclohexanediol and chlorophosphoric acid diary ester, and were successfully employed in the Cu-catalyzed asymmetric 1,4-conjugate addition of diethylzinc to cyclohexenone with up to 99% ee. It was found that ligand 1,2-bis[(R)-1,10-binaphthyl-2,2'-diyl]phosphitecyclohexanediol 6a derived from racemic diol skeleton can show similar catalytic performance compared with ligand(1R,2R)-bis[(R)-1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diyl]phosphitecyclohexanediol 6a' derived from enantiopure starting material. A significant dependence of stereoselectivity on the type of enone and the ring size of the cyclic enone was observed. Moreover, the configuration of the products was mainly determined by the configuration of the binaphthyl moieties of diphosphite ligands in the 1,4-addition of cyclic enones.
Novel catalytic systems for the Rh‐catalyzed hydroformylation of dicyclopentadiene have been developed using tris‐H8‐binaphthyl monophosphite as ligands containing different ester substituents at the 2’‐binaphthyl position(OCOMe,OCOPh,OCOAdamantyl and OCOPhCl).The catalysts exhibited high activity(S/C=4000,TON=3286)with good to excellent selectivity towards dialdehydes.Remarkably,the Rh(I)complex bearing the ligands with chlorophenyl ester substituents led to 99.9%conversion and 98.7%selectivity for dialdehydes under relatively mild conditions(6 MPa,120°C).
Pd/TiN nanocomposite catalysts were fabricated for one-step selective hydrogenation of phenol to cyclohexanone successfully. High conversion of phenol (99%) and selectivity of cyclohexanone (98%) were obtained at 30 ℃ and 0.2 MPa H2 for 12 h in the mixed solvents of H20 and CH2C12. The Pd nanoparticles were stable in the reaction, and no aggregation was detected after four successive runs. The catalytic activity and selectivity depended on slightly the Pd particle sizes. The generality of the catalysts for this reaction was demonstrated by the selective hydrogenation of phenol derivatives, which showed that the catalyst was selective for the formation of cyclohexanone.
