journal contribution
posted on 2003-03-25, 00:00 authored by Christopher J. Pilkington, Antonio Zanotti-Gerosa1,2-Bis(2,5-diphenylphospholano)ethane (Ph-BPE) has been synthesized for the first time through employment of an undemanding synthetic
pathway. The new ligand exhibits enhanced activity and selectivity over the existing members of the BPE ligand family in rhodium-catalyzed
asymmetric hydrogenation.
