A process for the production of 4-hydroxybutyraldehyde is described. The process comprises reacting allyl alcohol with a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a solvent and a catalyst system comprising a rhodium complex and a 2,3-O-isopropylidene-2,3-dihydroxy-1,4-bis[bis(3,5-di-n-alkylphenyl)phosphino]butane. The process gives high yield of 4-hydroxybutyraldehyde compared to 3-hydroxy-2-methylpropionaldehyde.
Synthesis of efficient chiral bisphosphine ligands, modified DIOPs, (4R,5R)-4-(Diaryl- or dialkylphosphino)methyl-5-(diarylphosphino)methyl-2,2- dimethyl-1,3-dioxolanes, and their use in rhodium(I)-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenations

Modified DIOPs, (4R,5R)-4-(diaryl- or dialkyphosphino)methyl-5- (diarylphosphino)methyl-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolanes, were prepared on the basis of our design concept, and used as ligands for the rhodium(I)-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenations of ketopantolactone, itaconic acid, dimethyl itaconate, and β-aryl-substituted itaconic acid derivatives. A neutral rhodium(I)-complex of (4R-trans)-dicyclohexyl[[5- [(diphenylphosphino)methyl]-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl]methyl]phosphine (DIOCP) bearing both a dicyclohexylphosphino group and a diphenylphosphino group was found to be a more efficient catalyst than the original DIOP in the asymmetric hydrogenation of ketopantolactone. Modified DIOPs bearing electron-donating groups at their para positions were efficient ligands for the rhodium(I)-catalyzed assymetric hydrogenations of itaconic acid and its derivatives; in particular, (4R-trans)-[(2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4,5- diyl)bis(methylene)]bis[bis(4'-methoxy-3',5'-dimethylphenyl)phosphine] (MOD- DIOP) bearing both a p-methoxy group and two m,m'-methyl groups on each phenyl group showed much higher enantioselectivity and catalytic activity than DIOP.

A modified DIOP analogue bearing 4-methoxy and 3,5-dimethyl groups on each phenyl group has been synthesized.The rhodium complex of the ligand has been found to give very high optical yields in the asymmetric hydrogenation of itaconic acid and its derivatives bearing β-aryl groups, the products of which are key-intermediates for optically active lignan derivatives.
