Abstract

Abstract Optically active diphosphines of the formula: R1 CH2-CH-CH2-P ANGLE ¦¦R2 ¦¦ ¦¦R1' CH2-CH-CH2-P ANGLE R2' in which the phosphinomethyl groups are trans to each other, from rhodium complexes useful as catalysts in hydrogenating substituted acrylic acids and their esters to optically active propionic acid derivatives.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 136 words
A rhodium complex in which the rhodium is bound to halogen and a diphosphine of the formula: ##EQU2## in which the phosphinomethyl groups are in the trans-position relative to one another, and the groups R 1 , R 2 , R' 1 and R' 2 , which may be identical or different, each represent straight or branched alkyl of 1 to 8 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl of 5 or 6 ring carbon atoms, or aryl consisting of one or more benzene rings which are bonded to one another by a valency bond or which form with one another an ortho- or peri-condensed system, the said aryl being unsubstituted or substituted by straight or branched alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, the said complex containing between 0.5 to 2 mols of said diphosphine per atom of rhodium.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 136 words
A rhodium complex in which the rhodium is bound to halogen and a diphosphine of the formula: ##EQU2## in which the phosphinomethyl groups are in the trans-position relative to one another, and the groups R 1 , R 2 , R' 1 and R' 2 , which may be identical or different, each represent straight or branched alkyl of 1 to 8 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl of 5 or 6 ring carbon atoms, or aryl consisting of one or more benzene rings which are bonded to one another by a valency bond or which form with one another an ortho- or peri-condensed system, the said aryl being unsubstituted or substituted by straight or branched alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, the said complex containing between 0.5 to 2 mols of said diphosphine per atom of rhodium.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 15 words
A complex according to claim 1 in which the rhodium is also bound to carbonyl.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 32 words
The rhodium complex according to claim 1 of formula: ##STR12## in which the diphosphine is the dextrorotatory or laevorotatory stereoisomer and the phosphinomethyl groups are in the trans-position relative to one another.
