Syntheses and resolutions of new chiral biphenyl backbones: 2-Amino-2′-hydroxy-6,6′-dimethyl-1,1′-biphenyl and 2-amino-2′-hydroxy-4,4′,6,6′-tetramethyl-1,1′- biphenyl

The new chiral backbones (R)-(+)- and S-(-)-2-amino-2′-hydroxy-6,6′-dimethyl-1,1′-biphenyl and (R)-(+)- and (S)-(-)-2-amino-2′-hydroxy-4,4′,6,6′- tetramethyl-1,1′-biphenyl were synthesized from o-methylaniline and 2,4-dimethyl-aniline respectively in seven steps. A new resolution method was developed to provide homochiral enantiomers (from diastereomeric salts) in reasonably high yields. The absolute configuration of the new biphenyls was confirmed by X-ray structural analysis.

Axially Dissymmetric Bis(triaryl)phosphines in the Biphenyl Series: Synthesis of (6,6'-Dimethylbiphenyl-2,2'-diyl)bis(diphenylphosphine) ('BIPHEMP') and Analogues, and their Use in Rh(I)-Catalyzed Asymmetric Isomerisations of N,N-Diethylnerylamine

The axially dissymmetric diphosphines (-)-(R)- and (+)-(S)-(6,6'-dimethylbiphenyl-2,2'-diyl)bis(diphenylphosphine)((-)-(R)-10 and (+)-(S)-10; 'BIPHEMP') have been synthesized, starting from (R)- and (S)-6,6'-dimethylbiphenyl-2,2'-diamine ((R)- and (S)-16), respectively, via Sandmeyer reaction, lithiation, and phosphinylation.Moreover, racemic 4,4'-dimethyl- and 4,4'-bis(dimethylamino)-substituted analogues 11 and 12, respsctively, and the 6,6'-bridged analogue 1,11-bis(diphenylphosphino)-5,7-dihydrodibenzoxepin (13) were synthesized and resolved into optically pure (R)- and (S)-enantiomers via complexation with di-μ-chlorobisphenyl-C,N>dipalladium(II) ((R)-18).The molecular structures of the diphosphines (S)-10 and (R)-13 and of two derived cationic Rh(I) complexes, BF4 and BF4 were determined by X-ray analyses.Absolute configurations were established for (+)-(S)-10 by X-ray analyses of both the free diphosphine and of the derived Rh(I) complex, and for (-)-13 by X-ray analysis of the derived Rh(I) complex.Configurational assignments for the substituted BIPHEMP analogues 11 and 12 were achieved by means of 1H-NMR comparisons of the Pd(II) complexes derived from the diphosphines and (R)-18, and by means of CD comparisons.The BIPHEMP ligand 10 and analogues 11, 12, and 13 are the first examples of optically active bis(triarylphosphines) containing the axially dissymmetric biphenyl moiety.All these new diphosphines proved to be excellent asymmetry-inducing ligands in Rh(I)-catalyzed isomerizations of N,N-diethylnerylamine affording citronellal enamine of 98-99percent ee.
