New derivatives of the Quinaphos ligands and the related Dihydro-Quinaphos ligands based on the more flexible 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline backbone have been prepared and fully characterised. A general and straightforward separation protocol was devised, which allowed for the gram-scale isolation of the R(a),S(c) and S(a),R(c) diastereomers. These new phosphine-phosphoramidite ligands have been applied in the Rh-catalysed asymmetric hydrogenation of functionalised olefins with the achievement of excellent enantioselectivities (> or = 99%) in most cases and turnover frequency (TOF) values of up to > or = 20,000 h(-1). These results substantiate the practical utility of readily accessible Quinaphos-type ligands, which belong to the most active and selective category of ligands for Rh-catalysed hydrogenation known to date.

A series of chiral hybrid diphosphorus ligands incorporating a conformationally flexible tropos diphenylmethane-based phosphoramidite unit have been developed and evaluated in the Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of 2-(1-arylvinyl)anilides and α-enamides, leading to up to >99% yield and 99% enantiomeric excess. Preliminary results from comparative studies showcased the extraordinary catalytic performance of these chiral tropos phosphine-phosphoramidite ligands, with a competency essentially superior to those of well-established ligands with a regular rigid backbone.

Strategies on the construction of enantiomerically pure silicon-stereogenic silanes generally relies on desymmetrization of prochiral and symmetric substrates. However, dynamic kinetic asymmetric transformations of organosilicon compounds have remained underdeveloped and unforeseen owing to a lack of an effective method for deracemization of the static silicon stereocenters. Here we report the first Rh-catalyzed dynamic kinetic asymmetric intramolecular hydrosilylation (DyKAH) with "silicon-centered" racemic hydrosilanes that enables the facile preparation of silicon-stereogenic benzosiloles in good yields and excellent enantioselectivities.

A strategy for chiral ligand design has been developed that allows for incorporation of an achiral bicyclic bridgehead phosphoramidite to generate a class of hybrid diphosphorus ligands for high activity and asymmetric control. Using this concept, a series of chiral phosphine-phosphoramidite ligands bearing the sole chirality at the ligand backbone have been prepared and successfully employed in the Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of 2-vinylanilides for the synthesis of optically active anilines bearing an -tertiary benzylic stereocenter.

A highly diastereo- and enantioselective Ir-catalyzed hydrogenation of unfunctionalized 2,3-disubstituted quinolines, especially 3-alkyl-2-arylquinolines, has been realized. The success of this hydrogenation is ascribed to the use of a structurally fine-tuned chiral phosphine-phosphoramidite ligand with a ()-3,3'-dimethyl H-naphthyl moiety and ()-1-phenylethylamine backbone. The hydrogenation displayed broad functional group tolerance, thus furnishing a wide range of optically active 2,3-disubstituted tetrahydroquinolines in up to 96% ee and with perfect -diastereoselectivity.

A catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation of β-phosphorylated enamides for enantioselective access to optically active β-aminophosphine derivatives is reported. Critical to the success of this method was the employment of rhodium catalysis in concert with an unsymmetrical hybrid chiral phosphine-phosphoramidite ligand. A wide range of aromatic β-phosphorylated enamides could be hydrogenated in full conversion and with perfect enantioselectivity even at low catalyst loadings (S/C = 1000).
