The Effects of cis-Coordinating Phosphine of Chiral Bisphosphine–Rhodium Complexes on the Catalytic Activities in the Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Itaconic Acid
The effects of cis-coordinating phosphine of the rhodium complexes of BCPM ((2S,4S)-N-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-4-(dicyclohexylphosphino)-2-[(diphenylphosphino)methyl]pyrrolidine) analogues bearing electron donating or attracting groups on the catalytic activities in the asymmetric hydrogenation of itaconic acid are described.
