Significance
Hydroformylation of olefins is an industrial and medicinally important transformation. The use of Rh(CO)2(acac)/TangPhos was found to be suitable for the asymmetric hydroformylation of [2.2.1]-bicyclic olefins. Numerous chiral bidentate P,P ligands were screened and TangPhos gave the highest enantioselectivities (>90% ee in some cases). The enantioselectivities seemed to be relatively independent of temperature and CO/H2 pressure (see scheme). While the majority of substrates were based on the [2.2.1]-bicyclic framework, styrene was shown to be hydroformylated with a high branch/linear ratio (94:6) and in 76% ee, albeit with only 44% conversion.
