Unprecedented enantioselective resolution copolymerization of racemic cis-internal epoxides and anhydrides was mediated by dinuclear aluminum complexes with multiple chirality, affording optically active polyesters with two contiguous stereogenic centers, and the unreacted substrates in good enantioselectivity. Unexpected stereoconvergence is observed in this resolution copolymerization, where the selectivity factor for the enantioselective formation of copolymer significantly exceeds the kinetic resolution coefficient based on the unreacted epoxide at various conversions. Catalytic activity and copolymer enantioselectivity are strongly influenced by the phenolate ortho-substituents of the ligand set, as well as the axial linker and its chirality. An enantiopure binaphthol-linked bimetallic AlIII complex allows stereoconvergent access to the stereoregular semi-crystalline polyesters and a concomitant kinetic resolution of the epoxide substrates.

A double [2,3] sigmatropic rearrangement enables the fast synthesis of novel C2-symmetrical 1,2-diphosphanes in good yields. These phosphanes (for example, 1; c-Hex = cyclohexyl) are highly efficient ligands for the rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydroboration of a wide variety of styrenes (see scheme). cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene; DME = 1,2-dimethoxyethane.
