Diphenylphosphine and diphenylphosphinite derivatives of sugars such as methyl 6-deoxy-4-C-(diphenylphosphino)-2,3-O-isopropylidene-α-L-talopyranoside, methyl 4-O-(diphenylphosphino)-2,3-O-isopropylidene-α-L-rhamnopyranoside, methyl 4-C,4-O-(diphenylphosphino)-2,3-O-isopropylidene-α-L-talopyranoside, 6-deoxy-6-C-(diphenylphosphino)-1,2:3,5-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-glucofuranose, and 6-O-(diphenylphosphino)-1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-galactopyranose were synthesized by the reaction of diphenylphosphine-sodium dihydrobis(2-methoxyethoxy)aluminate (SDMA) and/or diphenylphosphinous chloride-triethylamine with sugar derivatives.Homogeneous asymmetric hydrogenations of several prochiral olefins (α-acetylaminocinnamic acid, methyl α-acetylaminocinnamate, α-benzoylaminocinnamic acid, itaconic acid, and tiglic acid) were carried out using rhodium(I) catalysts with the tervalent chiral phosphorus derivatives of sugars.The highest optical yield for all the five substrates was obtained when di-μ-chloro-bis(cyclooctadiene)dirhodium(I) and 6-O-(diphenylphosphino)-1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-galactopyranose were used.The advantages of this method are the simplicity in the synthesis of the chiral phosphorus compound and the comparatively high optical yield in the asymmetric hydrogenation of olefins.
