In this study we introduce a series of monodentate pyridine-based ligands for which the phosphorus coordination mode to rhodium can be controlled by the binding of Zn(II)-templates to the pyridyl group. A series of monodentate phosphoroamidite and phosphite ligands have been prepared and studied under hydroformylation conditions by in situ high-pressure NMR and IR techniques. These studies reveal the exclusive formation of rhodium hydride complexes in which the phosphorus atom of the ligand resides in an axial position, trans to the hydride, but only after addition of Zn(II)-template. In the absence of these templates the usual mono-coordinated rhodium hydrido complexes are formed, with the phosphorus ligated in the equatorial plane, cis to the hydride. The catalytic performance of these complexes is evaluated in asymmetric hydroformylation of unfunctionalised internal alkenes in which the supramolecular change is reflected in higher activity and selectivity.

This publication describes monodentate phosphine and oxazoline ligands attached to an amino acid ester and the application of their supramolecularly assembled rhodium(I) or iridium(I) complexes in asymmetric catalysis. The major feature of these complexes is the transmission of chirality from distant hydrogen bonded amino acids to the prochiral catalytic metal center ("backdoor induction"). The generated homoleptic and heteroleptic rhodium(I) or iridium(I) precatalysts were studied by NMR, UV-VIS and CD spectroscopy as well as X-ray single crystal diffraction.

Chiral γ-amino alcohols are prevalent structural motifs in natural products and bioactive compounds. Nevertheless, efficient and atom-economical synthetic methods toward enantiomerically enriched γ-amino alcohols are still lacking. In this study, a highly enantioselective rhodium-catalyzed reductive hydroformylation of readily available α-substituted enamides is developed, providing a series of pharmaceutically valuable chiral 1,3-amino alcohols in good yields and excellent enantioselectivities in a single step.

Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of polysubstituted chiral cyclopropane presents a significant challenge in organic synthesis due to the difficulty in enantioselective control. Here we report a rhodium-catalyzed highly chemo-, regio- and enantioselective hydroformylation of trisubstituted cyclopropenes affording chiral quaternary cyclopropanes. Importantly, the easy made sterically bulky ligand L1 can effectively suppress hydrogenation and decomposition reactions and give quaternary cyclopropanes with high regio- and enantioselectivities for both aryl and alkyl functionalized substrates.

Hydroformylation of olefins is widely used in the chemical industry due to its versatility and the ability to produce valuable aldehydes with 100% atom economy. Herein, a hybrid phosphate promoter was found to efficiently promote rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation of styrenes under remarkably mild conditions with high regioselectivities. Preliminary mechanistic studies revealed that the weak coordination between the Rhodium and the P=O double bond of this pentavalent phosphate likely induced exceptional reactivity and high ratios of branched aldehydes to linear products.

A convenient synthesis of enantiopure mixed donor phosphine-phosphite ligands has been developed incorporating -stereogenic phosphanorbornane and axially chiral bisnaphthols into one ligand structure. The ligands were applied in Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allylic substitution of diphenylallyl acetate, Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydroformylation of styrene and Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of an acetylated dehydroamino ester. Excellent branched selectivity was observed in the hydroformylation although low was found.
