- Ruthenium-I0D0-optically active phosphine complex
-
This invention is concerned with a ruthenium-iodo-optically active bidentate phosphine complex of the formula (I):[Ru-(I)q-(T1)n(SOL)r(L)]m(T2)p(I)s(I)wherein T1 represents a carboxylic acid anion, SOL represents a polar solvent, L represents an optically active bidentate phosphine ligand, T2 represents an anion different from halogen atom anions and carboxylic acid anions, n denotes 0 or 1, r denotes 0, 3 or 4, m denotes 1 or 2, q denotes 0 or 1, or where m is 2, q may represent 1 or 1.5, p denotes 0 or 1, and s denotes 0, 1 or 2 is prepared. Said phosphine complex is usefull as an efficient catalyst for asymmetrically hydrogenating 4-methylene-2-oxetanone into optically active 4-methyl-2-oxetanone.

- Chiral diphosphine compound intermediate for preparing the same transition metal complex having the same diphosphine compound as ligand and asymmetric hydrogenation catalyst
-
A novel diphosphine compound of the formula (I): STR1 where R1 and R2 represent independently cycloalkyl, unsubstituted or substituted phenyl, or a five-membered heteroaromatic ring. The compound is useful as a ligand for an asymmetric reaction, in particular, as an asymmetric hydrogenation catalyst.
