Immobilized Bisdiazaphospholane Catalysts for Asymmetric Hydroformylation
2014
Condensation reactions of enantiopure bis-3,4-diazaphospholanes (BDPs) that are functionalized with carboxylic acids enable covalent attachment to bead and silica supports. Exposure of tethered BDPs to the hydroformylation catalyst precursor, Rh(acac)(CO)2, yields catalysts for immobilized asymmetric hydroformylation (iAHF) of prochiral alkenes. Compared with homogeneous catalysts, catalysts immobilized on Tentagel resins exhibit similarly high regioselectivity and enantioselectivity. When corrected for apparent catalyst loading, the activity of the immobilized catalysts approaches that of the homogeneous analogues. Excellent recyclability with trace levels of rhodium leaching are observed in batch and flow reactor conditions. Silica-bound catalysts exhibit poorer enantioselectivities.
