Synthesis of new hydrophilic phosphines by addition of diphenylphosphine on activated alkenes: Characterization of their rhodium complexes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0022-328X(95)05790-V

The regioselective addition of diphenylphosphine on conjugated olefins leads to new hydrophilic phosphines. Ligands with various functional groups (carboxylic, sulfonate, trimethylammonium and hydroxy) and their neutral and cationic rhodium complexes have
