Enantioenriched aldehydes are produced through asymmetric hydroformylation of styrene derivatives using BIBOP-type ligands. The featured example is enantioselective synthesis of 4-methyl-3,4-dihydroisocoumarin, which was prepared in a 95.1:4.9 enantiomeric ratio from asymmetric hydroformylation of ethyl 2-vinylbenzoate followed by in situ lactonization during the reduction process. The conditions are compatible with both electron-rich and electron-poor substituents.
通过使用 BIBOP 型配体对苯乙烯衍生物进行不对称氢甲酰化反应,可以得到对映体富集的醛。其中一个典型的例子是通过不对称氢甲酰化乙基 2-乙烯基苯甲酸酯,随后在还原过程中进行原位内酯化反应,以 95.1:4.9 的对映体比例制备得到 4-甲基-3,4-二氢异香豆素。这些条件与富电子和缺电子取代基都兼容。
