Application
(S)-Phanephos is designed to serve as a highly effective ligand in various catalytic processes, offering remarkable enantioselectivity and efficiency. It plays a crucial role in the asymmetric hydrogenation of dehydroamino acids, methyl esters, and ketones, significantly enhancing the performance of rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective hydroboration of cyclopropenes. Additionally, (S)-Phanephos is utilized in iridium-catalyzed enantioselective [2+2] cycloadditions involving oxabicyclic alkenes and terminal alkynes, as well as palladium-catalyzed enantioselective hydroxycarbonylation and alkoxycarbonylation of alkenes. It also facilitates the synthesis of amides through palladium-catalyzed C(sp3)-H bond functionalization and CO insertion, and supports iridium-catalyzed diene hydrohydroxymethylation, making it an invaluable ligand across a broad spectrum of chemical transformations.
