The new C2-symmetrical diphosphines 1-4 of potential interest for asymmetric catalysis were prepared in protected form by a convergent synthesis based on the use of readily available (S,S)-1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid 8 and the phosphorus reagent (Et2N)2PLi·BH3.
Asymmetric Ring-Closing Metathesis Catalyzed by Chiral Molybdenum Alkylidene Complexes

Kinetic resolution was observed in ring-closing metathesis of racemic dienes catalyzed by the newly developed chiral molybdenum alkylidene complexes (R,R)-Mo(CHCMe2Ph)(NAr)(TBEC) 1 (Ar = 2,6-i-Pr2C6H3, TBEC = 2′,2′ ,2″,2″-tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)-1,2-bis(2′-hydroxyethyl) cyclopentane) and (R,R)-Mo(CHCMe2Ph)(NAr)(TBEH) 2 (Ar - 2,6-i-Pr2C6H3, TBEH = 2′,2′,2″,2″-tetrakis(trifluoro- methyl)-1,2-bis(2′-hydroxyethyl)cyclohexane). In the case of a prochiral symmetric triene substrate, optically active cyclized product was formed by catalytic ring-closing metathesis with 1, which opens the possibility of a new version of two-directional synthesis. Although the observed enantiomeric excesses were modest to low, this data demonstrates the feasibility of asymmetric induction by chiral alkylidene catalysts in ring-closing metathesis.
