A series of new phosphine-phosphite ligands P(C)(n)OP (n = 1-4) have been synthesized and used for rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of prochiral olefins in order to study the effect of the chelate ring size. Excellent ees (up to 97.5%) were obtained in the hydrogenation of dimethyl itaconate and an increase of activity and enantioselectivity was observed in the hydrogenation of (Z)-α-acetamidocinnamic acid methyl ester with the increasing length of the backbone of the ligands.

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.

Organoruthenium pyrithione (1-hydroxypyridine-2-thione) complexes have been shown in our recent studies to be a promising family of compounds for development of new anticancer drugs. The complex [(η--cymene)Ru(pyrithionato)(pta)]PF contains phosphine ligand pta (1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane) as a functionality that improves the stability of the complex and its aqueous solubility. Here, we report our efforts to find pta alternatives and discover new structural elements to improve the biological properties of ruthenium anticancer drugs.

Chiral bridged [2,2,1] bicyclic lactones are privileged structural units in pharmaceutics and bioactive nature products. However, the synthetic methods for these compounds are rare. Here we report an efficient method for enantioselective construction of bridged [2,2,1] bicyclic lactones bearing a quaternary stereocenter via Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydroformylation/intramolecular cyclization/pyridium chlorochromate (PCC) oxidation.

A regiodivergent nickel-catalyzed hydrocyanation of 1-aryl-4-silyl-1,3-diynes is reported. When appropriate bisphosphine and phosphine-phosphite ligands are applied, the same starting materials can be converted into two different enynyl nitriles with good yields and high regioselectivities. The DFT calculations unveiled that the structural features of different ligands bring divergent alkyne insertion modes, which in turn lead to different regioselectivities.

We have identified a successful family of simple P-stereogenic -phosphine-phosphite ligands for the Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of olefins. These catalysts show excellent enantiocontrol for α-dehydroamino acid derivatives and α-enamides (ee's up to >99%) and promising results for the more challenging β-analogues (ee's up to 80%). The usefulness of these catalytic systems was further demonstrated with the synthesis of several valuable precursors for pharmacologically active compounds, with ee's at least as high as the best ones reported previously (up to >99%).
