Efficient synthesis of (S,R)-Bn-Yanphos and Rh/(S,R)-Bn-Yanphos catalyzed asymmetric hydroformylation of vinyl heteroarenes

Abstract

A concise and efficient synthesis of (S,R)-Bn-Yanphos on a gram scale has been developed. When (S,R)-Bn-Yanphos was employed in Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydroformylation of vinyl heteroarenes and allyl-1H-indole, it exhibited excellent catalytic activity, affording chiral heteroaryl aldehydes in good yields with high regio- and enantioselectivities (up to 96% ee).
