A broad range of optically active two-layer phosphanes was obtained by a divergent reaction sequence. Chirality was introduced into the ligands in the last step by easily performed Schiff base condensation of primary amines from the 'chiral pool' and achiral octaaldehydes containing a bisphosphane core. The two achiral precursors are 1,2-ethylene- and o-phenylene-bridged bisphosphanes with four 3,5-dicarbaldehyde-substituted phenyls, synthesized in six steps. The resulting octaimine ligands have been used in Rh, Pd and Ni complexes in several model reactions of enantioselective catalysis giving low optical inductions.
