Abstract

In this paper, a series of new optically active MeO-BIPHEP-type ligands, (S)-6,6′-dimethoxy-2,2′-bis(di- p-alkoxyphenyl-phosphine)-1,1′-biphenyl [(S)-5b–(S)-5e] were prepared and characterized. Starting from the commercially available triethyl phosphorite and m-bromoanisole, an optically active (S)-6,6′-dimethoxybiphenyl- 2,2′-diyl-bis(phosphonic acid diester) was prepared by an improved way and converted to the corresponding dichlorides, which was used as a key intermediate to react with p-alkoxybenzenemagnesium bromide or p-alkoxyphenyl lithium to directly give the enantiomerically pure diphosphines 5.
