Abstract

C2-Symmetric (4S,4'S)-2,2'-bis(o-diphenylphosphinophenyl-4,4',5,5'-tetrahydro-4,4'-bi(1,3 -oxazole) (1, Phos-Biox) has been designed and synthesized as a chiral ligand for metal-catalyzed reactions. The Phos-Biox 1 was found to be an efficient ligand for rhodium(I)-catalyzed asymmetric reduction of prochiral acetophenones with diphenylsilane to give optically active secondary alcohols of up to 97% ee.
