Although hybrid bidentate ligands are known to yield highly enantioselective products in asymmetric hydrogenation (AH), synthesis of these ligands is an arduous process. Herein, a one pot, atom-economic synthesis of a hybrid phosphine-phosphite (L1) is reported. After understanding the reactivity difference between an O-nucleophile versus C-nucleophile, one pot synthesis of Senphos (L1) was achieved (72 %). When L1 was treated with [Rh], 31P NMR revealed bidentate coordination to Rh. Senphos, in the presence of rhodium, catalyzes the AH of Methyl-2-acetamido-3-phenylacrylate and discloses an unprecedented turn over frequency of 2289, along with excellent enantio-selectivity (92 %). The generality is demonstrated by hydrogenating an array of alkenes. The AH operates under mild conditions of 1–2 bar H2 pressure, at room temperature. The practical relevance of L1 is demonstrated by scaling-up the reaction to 1 g and by synthesizing DOPA, a drug widely employed for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Computational insights indicate that the R isomer is preferred by 3.8 kcal/mol over the S isomer.

Several phenylalanine analogs have been synthesized through a four-step route starting from easily available ethyl acetamidocyanoacetate. In a first reaction, and making use of phase transfer catalysts, this compound reacted with several alkyl halides, being benzyltributylammonium chloride identified as the best one for the production of a series of quaternary amino acids in moderate to excellent yields (52-95%). Then, the corresponding N-acetyl-phenylalanine methyl and allyl ester derivatives were obtained through acidic hydrolysis, esterification, and N-acetylation. Rhizomucor miehei lipase was found as a versatile enzyme for the resolution of these amino esters, finding the best results through interesterification reactions with butyl butyrate in acetonitrile. A great influence in the stereoselectivity was found depending on the chemical structure of the compound, achieving for the non- or para-substituted in the phenyl ring excellent stereoselectivities, being moderate for the meta-nitro derivative, while the ortho-nitro amino ester did not react.
