Full Text Bisphosphines as bidentate ligands
The present invention relates to bisphosphines as
bidentate ligands, a process for the production thereof
and their use. In particular, the invention concerns
bisphosphines of the general structure (I) .

Enantiomer-enriched chiral ligands are used in asymmetric
synthesis or asymmetric catalysis. It is essential here
for the electronic and stereochemical properties of the
ligand to be optimally adapted to the particular catalysis
problem. An important aspect of the success of these
families of compounds is attributed to the creation of a
particularly asymmetric environment of the metal centre by
these ligand systems. To utilise such an environment for
an effective transfer of chirality, it is advantageous to
control the flexibility of the ligand system as an
inherent limitation of the asymmetric induction.
Within the family of phosphorus-containing ligands, cyclic
phosphines, particularly the phospholanes, have achieved
particular significance. Bidentate, chiral phospholanes
are, for example, the DuPhos and BPE ligands used in
asymmetric catalysis. Ideally, therefore, a chiral ligand
basic skeleton capable of versatile modification is
available, which can be varied within broad limits in
respect of its steric and electronic properties.
The object of this invention is therefore to provide a
ligand skeleton analogous to that of the existing
phospholane ligands, but which can additionally be varied
and used within broad limits and possesses comparably good
catalytic properties. In particular, the invention is
based on the object of providing novel, asymmetric,
bidentate and chiral phosphine ligand systems for
catalytic purposes, which can be produced simply and with
high enantiomeric purity.
These and other problems not otherwise specified but
arising from the prior art are solved by a family of
chiral bidentate bisphosphine compounds of the general
formula (I) , the compounds according to the invention
having two chiral phosphine radicals bonded together via
an unsaturated bridge.
By preparing enantiomer-enriched bidentate
organophosphorus ligands of the general formula (I),

wherein
R1, R2, R3, R4, independently of one another, denote
(C1-C8)-alkyl, (C2-C8)-alkoxyalkyl, (C6-C18)-aryl, (C7-C19)-
aralkyl, (C3-C18) -heteroaryl, (C4-C19) -heteroaralkyl,
(C1-C8)-alkyl-(C6-C18)-aryl, (C1-C8)-alkyl-(C3-C18) -
heteroaryl, (C3-C8)-cycloalkyl, (C1-C8) -alkyl- (C3-C8) -
cycloalkyl, (C3-C8) -cycloalkyl- (C1-C8) -alkyl,
or R1 and R2 and/or R3 and R4 represent a (C3-C5)-alkylene
bridge mono-or polysubstituted with (C1-C8)-alkyl, HO-
(C1-C8) -alkyl, (C1-C8) -alkoxy, (C2-C8)-alkoxyalkyl,
(C6-C18)-aryl, (C7-C19)-aralkyl, (C1-C8)-alkyl-(C6-Ci8)-aryl,
(C3-C8) -cycloalkyl, (C1-C8) -alkyl- (C3-C8) -cycloalkyl,
(C3-C8)-cycloalkyl-(C1-C8)-alkyl, this optionally being
linked to a polymer enlargement,
and A denotes one of the following structures

wherein
R denotes H, (C1-C8)-alkyl, (C6-C18)-aryl, (C7-C19) -aralkyl,
(C1-C8)-alkyl-(C6-C18)-aryl, (C3-C8) -cycloalkyl,
(C1-C8) -alkyl- (C3-C8) -cycloalkyl,
(C3-C8)-cycloalkyl-(C1-C8)-alkyl, or the link to a polymer
enlargement,
Q = 0, NH, NR, previously unknown compounds are obtained,
which can be successfully used in asymmetric catalysis for
the production of organic compounds. Thus, with the
ligands provided by the invention, complexes or catalysts
can be produced for the successful hydrogenation of
mixtures of acylated E- and Z-ß-aminoacrylic acids or
derivatives thereof, among other things. To date, only a
few complexes have been successfully tested for mixtures
of this family of compounds, and so up to now it has been
necessary to perform an often complicated purification of
the E/Z mixtures before hydrogenation, so as to be able to
react the acylated E-ß-aminoacrylic acids and derivates,
which can only be hydrogenated with high enantiomeric
excesses, separately from Z-components.
The ligands according to the invention preferably
correspond to structures of the general formula (II),

wherein
A takes on the meaning given above,
R5 to R12, independently of one another, denote
(C1-C8)-alkyl, HO-(C1-C8)-alkyl, (C1-C8)-alkoxy,
(C2-C8)-alkoxyalkyl, (C6-C18)-aryl, (C7-C19) -aralkyl,
(C1-C8) -alkyl- (C6-CC19)8) -aryl, (C3-C8) -cycloalkyl,
(C1-C8) -alkyl- (C3-C8) -cycloalkyl,
(C3-C8) -cycloalkyl- (C1-C8) -alkyl,
or the link to a polymer enlargement.
The ligand systems according to the invention can
therefore be attached to a polymer enlargement. The
ligands or the complexes/catalysts that can be produced
from them can thus be separated very readily from the low
molecular-weight compounds, e.g. by filtration, owing to
the link to the polymer enlargement, and are thus
accessible to the recycling desired by the invention,
which is extremely simple but nonetheless advantageous.
The ligands/complexes can be enlarged in molecular weight
by linking to a polymer enlargement, and optionally
heterogenised in this way. The enantioselective
hydrogenation with complexes or catalysts that have been
thus enlarged in molecular weight can therefore proceed in
both a homogeneous and a heterogeneous phase.
Polymer enlargement:
The polymer enlargement can be freely selected within the
framework of the invention. It is limited on the one hand
by considerations of practicability and costs, and on the
other hand by prevailing technical conditions (retention
capacity, solubility etc.). Some polymer enlargements for
catalysts are known from the prior art (Reetz et al.,
Angew. Chem. 1997, 109, 1559f.; Seebach et al., Helv. Chim
Acta 1996, 79, 1710f.; Kragl et al., Angew. Chem. 1996,

879f.; Bolm et al., Angew. Chem. 1997, 109, 773f.; Bolm et

al. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1998, 120, 10274f., Salvadori et
al., Tetrahedron Lett. 1996, 37, 3375f; WO 98/22415;
particularly DE 19910691.6; Janda et al., J. Am. Chem.
Soc. 1998, 120, 9481f.; Andersson et al., Chem. Commun.
1996, 1135f.; Janda et al., Soluble Polymers 1999, 1, 1;
Janda et al., Chem. Rev. 1997, 97, 489; Geckler et al.,

Chemistry of Organic Silicon Compounds" Wiley, Chichester,

"Functional Polymers" Ed. : R. Arshady, ASC, Washington,
1996; "Praktikum der Makromolekularen Stoffe", D. Braun et
al., VCH-Wiley, Weinheim 1999).
It is also preferred for the polymer enlargement to be
formed by polyacrylates, polyacrylamides,
polyvinylpyrrolidinones, polysiloxanes, polybutadienes,
polyisoprenes, polyalkanes, polystyrenes, polyoxazolines
or polyethers, or mixtures thereof. In an especially
preferred embodiment, polystyrenes are used to construct
the polymer enlargement.
Linkers:
Between the actual ligand and the polymer enlargement, a
linker can be incorporated. The linker serves to create a
distance between ligand and polymer to reduce or eliminate
mutual interactions that are disadvantageous to the
reaction.
The linkers can, in principle, be freely selected by the
person skilled in the art. They should be selected
according to the aspects of how well they can be coupled
to the polymer/monomer on the one hand and to the ligand
on the other hand. Suitable linkers can be found e.g. in
the literature references mentioned above under the
heading of "Polymer enlargement".
Within the framework of the invention, these active units
of formulae (I) to (IV) are therefore advantageously bound
to the polymer enlargement directly, or preferably via a
linker selected from the group
a) -Si(R2)-
b) -(SiR2-O)n- n=l-10000
c) -(CHR-CHR-O)n- n=l-10000
d) -(X)n- n=l-20
e) Z-(X)n- n=0-20
f) -(X)n-W n=0-20
g) Z-(X)n-W n=0-20
wherein
R denotes H, (C1-C8) -alkyl, (C6-C18) -aryl, (C7-C19)-aralkyl,
( (C1-C8)-alkyl) 1-3-(C6-C18)-aryl,
X denotes (C6-Ci8)-arylene, (C1-C8) -alkylene, (C1-C8)-
alkenylene, ((C1-C8) -alkyl) 1-3- (C6-C18) -arylene, (C7-C19) -
aralkylene,
Z, W denote, independently of one another, -C(=O)0-,
-C(=O)NH-, -C(=O)-, NR, 0, CHR, CH2, C=S, S, PR.
Other preferred compounds that can be used as linkers are
shown in the following diagram:
However, linkers such as e.g. 1,4'-biphenyl, 1, 2-ethylene,
1,3-propylene, PEG-(2-10), a,?-siloxanylene or
1,4-phenylene as well as a,?-1, 4-bisethylenebenzene or
linkers obtainable from siloxanes of the general
formula IV are especially preferred.

These can easily be bound to any double bonds present in
the polymers and suitable functional groups of the active
centres under hydrosilylation conditions (overview of the
hydrosilylation reaction by Ojima in The Chemistry of
Organic Silicon Compounds, 1989 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.,
1480 - 1526).
The size of the polymer enlargement should preferably be
calculated such that the actual catalyst (formed from
optionally polymer-enlarged ligand and transition metal)
dissolves in the solvent to be used, so work can be
performed in a homogeneous phase. The polymer-enlarged
complex/catalyst used is preferably therefore a
homogeneously soluble one. As a result, negative effects,
which occur as a result of the phase change of the
substrates and products otherwise necessary with the use
of heterogeneous catalysts, can be avoided. The polymer-
enlarged ligands can have an average molecular weight in
the range of 1,000 - 1,000,000, preferably 5,000 -
500,000, particularly preferably 5,000 - 300,000, g/mol.
It lies within the framework of the invention that the
above-mentioned components of the polymer-enlarged
catalysts (I) to (IV) (polymer, linker, ligand) can be
combined at will in accordance with the knowledge of a
person skilled in the art to achieve an optimum reaction.
Combination of polymer enlargement with linker/ligand:
In principle there are two ways in which linkers/ligands
can be attached to the polymer enlargement:
a) the active unit causing the chiral induction (ligand)
is bound with an attached linker or directly to a
monomer and this is copolymerised with other
unmodified monomers, or
b) the active unit causing the chiral induction (ligand)
is bound with a linker or directly to the finished
polymer.
Polymers according to a) or b) can optionally be prepared
and block-copolymerised with other polymers, which also
exhibit the active units causing the chiral induction
(ligand) or which do not exhibit them.
In principle, it is also true for the number of
linkers/ligands per monomer in the polymer that as many as
possible of these catalytically active units (ligands)
should be accommodated in a polymer, so that the
conversion per polymer enlargement is increased as a
result. On the other hand, however, the ligands should be
sufficiently spaced apart so that a reciprocal negative
effect on the reactivity (TOF, selectivity) is minimised
or completely avoided. Preferably, therefore, the distance
between the linkers/ligands in the polymer should be in
the range of 1-200 monomer units, preferably 5-25 monomer
units.
In an advantageous embodiment, those positions in the
polymer or monomer to be polymerised that can readily be
functionalised, or allow an existing functionality to be
used for the link, are used for attaching the
linker/ligand. Thus, heteroatoms or unsaturated carbon
atoms are preferably suitable for constructing the link.
In the case of styrene/polystyrene as polymer enlargement,
for example, the existing aromatics can be used as
connecting points to the linkers/ligands. Functionalities
can be readily attached to these aromatics, preferably in
3-, 4- or 5- position, particularly preferably in 4-
position, by means of standard aromatic chemistry.
However, it is also advantageous to mix e.g. already
functionalised monomer into the mixture to be polymerised
and to bond the linker/ligand to the functionalities
present in the polystyrene after the polymerisation.
Advantageously suitable for this purpose are e.g. para-
hydroxy-, para-chloromethyl- or para-aminostyrene
derivatives.
In the case of polyacrylates, an acid group or ester group
is present in the monomer component in each case, to which
the linker or the active unit can be linked before or
after the polymerisation, preferably via an ester or amide
bond.
Polysiloxanes as polymer enlargement are preferably
constructed in such a way that, in addition to
dimethylsilane units, hydromethylsilane units are also
present. The linkers/ligands can then also be attached to
these positions by a hydrosilylation. These can
preferably be linked to the functionalities under
consideration in the polymer under hydrosilylation
conditions (overview of the hydrosilylation reaction by
Ojima in The Chemistry of Organic Silicon Compounds, 1989
John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 1480 - 1526).
Suitable polysiloxanes modified in this way are known in
the literature ("Siloxane polymers and copolymers" White
et al., in Ed. S. Patai "The Chemistry of Organic Silicon
Compounds" Wiley, Chichester, 1989, 46, 2954; C. Wandrey
et al. TH: Asymmetry 1997, 8, 1975).
Combination of linker with active unit:
That which applies to the joining of polymer to
linker/ligand, is synonymously applicable to the attaching
of the ligand (active unit) to the linker.
Thus, the linker attachment to the active units can
preferably take place via heteroatoms or certain
functionalities such as C=0, CH2, 0, N, S, P, Si or B,
ether-/thioether bonds, amine bonds or amide bonds
preferably being linked, or esterifications, alkylations,
silylations and additions to double bonds being carried
out.
Those linking methods already described in the prior art
for the polymer enlargement of the monomeric active units
are particularly preferred (W098/35927; Chem. Commun.
1999, 1917; Angew. Chem. 1997, 16, 183 5; J. Am. Chem. Soc.
1996, 118, 7632; Tetrahedron Lett. 1997, 38, 1527; Eur. J.

1990, 31, 3003; Chem. Commun. 1998, 2435; Tetrahedron
Lett. 1997, 38, 2577).
The production of a polymer-enlarged ligand system or
catalyst for the purpose of the invention can also be
carried out, in principle, according to the specification
in DE10029600.
Ligands of the general formula (III) or (IV)
wherein
A and Q have the meaning in claim 1, R' = H or R, and
R, independently of one another in each case, denotes
(C1-C8)-alkyl, HO-(C1-C8)-alkyl, (C2-C8) -alkoxyalkyl,
(C6-C18)-aryl, (C7-C19) -aralkyl, (C1-C8)-alkyl-(C6-C18)-aryl,
(C3-C8)-cycloalkyl, (C1-C8)-alkyl-(C3-C8)-cycloalkyl or
(C3-C8)-cycloalkyl-(C1-C8)-alkyl, are also preferred.
Ligands of the structures (III) and (IV) shown above, in
which R is methyl, ethyl, propyl, iso-propyl, tert.-butyl
or phenyl, are extremely preferred. Structures in which Q
is oxygen or NR', wherein R' is (C1-C8) -alkyl, (C6-C18)-aryl
or benzyl, and those in which Q is oxygen or NRX, wherein
R' is methyl, ethyl, propyl, iso-propyl, tert.-butyl,
phenyl, naphthyl, fluorenyl or benzyl, are also extremely
preferred.
The ligands according to the invention shown should, if
possible, possess a high enantiomeric purity. The
compounds of formulae (I) to (IV) should preferably
possess an enantiomeric enrichment of >90 %, more
preferably > 98%.
Another aspect of the invention provided relates to
complexes containing the ligands according to the
invention with at least one transition metal. Palladium,
platinum, rhodium, ruthenium, osmium, iridium, cobalt,
nickel or copper, in any catalytically relevant oxidation
stage, are suitable as transition metals. These complex
compounds are obtainable in solution by simply adding the
ligands according to the invention to metal complex
precursors, with which the person skilled in the art is
familiar.
In another form, the invention also relates to a process
for the production of the ligands according to the
invention, wherein the corresponding phosphines are
obtained by reacting LiP(SiMe3)2 with corresponding co-
reactants provided with nucleofuge leaving groups in the
presence of an organometallic base. Alkyl metals, such as
e.g. n-, sec-, tert.-BuLi, MeLi, or the like, can be used
as the organometallic base.
The trimethylsilylphosphines thus obtained are preferably
reacted with the corresponding dihalogen derivative of the
structures of group A illustrated above, the halogen atoms
each being positioned on the free valencies of the
structures shown.
One method of producing a group of the ligands according
to the invention will be described below by way of an
example. For the sake of clarity, maleic anhydride
derivatives were selected in the illustrations, without
thereby implying any restrictions or limitations for A.
In general, the procedure is to react an enantiomer-
enriched sulfate with a phosphine in the presence of a
strong base to form the monophospholane. In another
reaction step, the phosphorus-carbon bond is split with
the aid of an alkali metal and converted to silyl
phospholane by adding a halogen silyl compound. In the
following step, the silyl phospholane is reacted with 2,3-
dichloromaleic anhydride or a 2,3-dichloromaleamide
derivative to form the bisphospholane.
The diol is converted to the dimesylate in the presence of
a nitrogen base and then converted to the phospholane in
the presence of Li2PPh2-THF (Tetrahedron Asymmetry 1991, 2,
569-592).

The phospholane is also obtained by reacting the cyclic
sulfate with H2PPh in the presence of an alkali metal
hydride (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1999, 121, 9899-9900).

Another alternative preparation of the phospholane is
achieved by reacting the cyclic sulfate with
phenylphosphine in the presence of butyllithium.

After splitting the Ph-P bond with elementary lithium, the
P-silylated compound is obtained by adding trimethylsilyl
chloride.

An alternative synthesis route involves the reaction of
the cyclic sulfate with lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)-
phosphine {Organometallics 2000, 19, 250). Instead of the
methanolysis of the phosphorus-silicon bonds described by
Burk et al., it has proved advantageous in the synthesis
of the ligands according to the invention to perform ring
closure by adding methyllithium to form the
trimethylsilyl-substituted phospholane.

In both reaction routes, the formation of the
trimethylsilyl-substituted phospholane in meso-form is
observed as a side reaction.
In the following step, the reaction of silyl phospholane
with a 2,3-dichloromaleic acid derivative takes place
analogously to a coupling reaction of Fenske et al. and
Kinting et al. {Chem. Ber. 1974, 107, 117; J. Organomet.
Chem. 1986, 302, 259) .

The purification of the ligand takes place by the
formation of the metal complex. Here, surprisingly, it has
been found that a complex is obtained in optically pure
form from the diastereomeric mixture of the ligand-metal
compounds.
The compounds of the general formulae (I) - (IV) can be
used as ligands for complex compounds in asymmetric,
metal-catalysed reactions (such as e.g. hydrogenation,
hydroformylation, rearrangement, allylic alkylation,
cyclopropanation, hydrosilylation, hydride transfers,
hydroborations, hydrocyanations, hydrocarboxylations,
aldol reactions or Heck reaction). They are particularly
suitable for asymmetric reactions.
Suitable complexes, particularly of the general
formula (V) , contain ligands according to the invention of
formulae (I) - (IV) as ligands,

wherein, in general formula (V), M denotes a metal centre,
preferably a transition metal centre, L denotes the same
or different, coordinating, organic or inorganic ligands
and P denotes bidentate organophosphorus ligands of
formulae (I) - (IV) according to the invention, S
represents coordinating solvent molecules and A represents
equivalents of non-coordinating anions, wherein x and y
are whole numbers greater than or equal to 1, and z, q
and r are whole numbers greater than or equal to 0.
The sum of y + z + q has an upper limit set by the
coordination centres available at the metal centres, it
being unnecessary for all the coordination positions to be
occupied. Complex compounds with an octahedral, pseudo-
octahedral, tetrahedral, pseudo-tetrahedral or square-
planar coordination sphere, which can also be distorted
around the transition metal centre in each case, are
preferred. The sum of y + z + q is less than or equal to 6
in these complex compounds'.
The complex compounds according to the invention contain
at least one metal atom or ion, preferably a transition
metal atom or ion, particularly of palladium, platinum,
rhodium, ruthenium, osmium, iridium, cobalt, nickel or
copper in any catalytically relevant oxidation stage.
Complex compounds with fewer than four metal centres are
preferred, and those with one or two metal centres are
particularly preferred. The metal centres can be occupied
by various metal atoms and/or ions.
Preferred ligands L of these complex compounds are halide,
particularly Cl, Br and I, diene, particularly
cyclooctadiene, norbornadiene, olefin, particularly
ethylene and cyclooctene, acetato, trifluoroacetato,
acetylacetonato, allyl, methallyl, alkyl, particularly
methyl and ethyl, nitrile, particularly acetonitrile and
benzonitrile, and also carbonyl and hydrido ligands.
Preferred coordinating solvents S are amines, particularly
triethylamine, alcohols, particularly methanol and
aromatics, particularly benzene and cumene.
Preferred non-coordinating anions A are trifluoroacetate,
trifluoromethane sulfonate, BF4, ClO4, PF6, SbF6 and BAr4.
Different molecules, atoms or ions of the individual
components M, P, L, S and A can be contained in the
individual complex compounds.
Among the ionically constructed complex compounds,
compounds of the [RhP(diene) ] +A- type are preferred,
wherein P represents a ligand of formulae (I) - (IV)
according to the invention.
The preparation of these metal-ligand complex compounds
can take place in situ by the reaction of a metal salt or
a corresponding pre-complex with the ligands of the
general formulae (I) - (IV). In addition, a metal-ligand
complex compound can be obtained by reaction of a metal
salt or a corresponding pre-complex with the ligands of
the general formulae (I) - (IV) and subsequent isolation.
Examples of the metal salts are metal chlorides, bromides,
iodides, cyanides, nitrates, acetates, acetylacetonates,
hexafluoroacetylacetonates, tetrafluoroborates,
perfluoroacetates or triflates, particularly of palladium,
platinum, rhodium, ruthenium, osmium, iridium, cobalt,
nickel or copper.
Examples of the pre-complexes are:
Cyclooctadienepalladium chloride, cyclooctadienepalladium

The complex compounds based on one or more metals of the
metallic elements, particularly from the group of Ru, Co,
Rh, Ir, Ni, Pd, Pt and Cu, can already be catalysts or can
be used to produce catalysts based on one or more metals
of the metallic elements, particularly from the group of
Ru, Co, Rh, Ir, Ni, Pd, Pt and Cu. All these complex
compounds are particularly suitable in the asymmetric
hydrogenation of C=C-, C=0- or C=N-bonds, in which they
exhibit high activities and selectivities, and in
asymmetric hydroformylation. In particular, it proves
advantageous here that the ligands of the general formulae
(I) - (IV) can be very well adapted, sterically and
electronically, to the particular substrate and the
catalytic reaction owing to their simple, broad
adaptability.
Corresponding catalysts contain at least one of the
complex compounds according to the invention.
As already indicated, the use of the complexes or
catalysts according to the invention is particularly
suitable for the hydrogenation of E/Z mixtures of
prochiral N-acylated P-aminoacrylic acids or their
derivatives. Acetyl, formyl or urethane or carbamoyl
protective groups can preferably be used here as the acyl
group.
In principle, the ligands and complexes/catalysts are used
in a way known to the person skilled in the art in the
form of transfer hydrogenation ("Asymmetric transfer
hydrogenation of C=0 and C=N bonds", M. Wills et al.
Tetrahedron: Asymmetry 1999, 10, 2045; "Asymmetric
transfer hydrogenation catalyzed by chiral ruthenium
complexes" R. Noyori et al. Ace. Chem. Res. 1997, 30, 97;
"Asymmetric catalysis in organic synthesis", R. Noyori,
John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1994, p.123; "Transition
metals for organic Synthesis" Ed. M. Beller, C. Bolm,
Wiley-VCH, Weinheim, 1998, vol. 2, p.97; "Comprehensive
Asymmetric Catalysis" Ed.: Jacobsen, E.N.; Pfaltz, A. ;
Yamamoto, H., Springer-Verlag, 1999), but it can also
proceed conventionally with elemental hydrogen. The
process can thus operate either by hydrogenation with
hydrogen gas or by transfer hydrogenation.
In enantioselective hydrogenation, the preferred procedure
is to dissolve the substrate to be hydrogenated and the
complex/catalyst in a solvent. The catalyst is preferably
formed from a pre-catalyst as indicated above, in the
presence of the chiral ligand, by reaction or by pre-
hydrogenation before the substrate is added. Hydrogenation
is then performed at 0.1 to 10 bar, preferably 0.5 to
5 bar, hydrogen pressure.
The temperature during hydrogenation should be selected
such that the reaction proceeds sufficiently rapidly with
the desired enantiomeric excesses, but side reactions are
avoided as far as possible. It is advantageous to work at
temperatures of -20°C to 100°C, preferably 0°C to 50°C.
The ratio of substrate to catalyst is determined by
economic factors. The reaction should be carried out
sufficiently rapidly with the lowest possible
complex/catalyst concentration. However, it is preferable
to work with a substrate/catalyst ratio of between 10000:1
and 10:1, preferably 1000:1 and 50:1.
The use of the polymer-enlarged ligands or complexes is
advantageous in catalytic processes carried out in a
membrane reactor. The continuous operation that is
possible in this apparatus, in addition to batch and semi-
continuous operation, can be carried out in the cross-flow
filtration mode (Fig. 2) or as dead-end filtration
(Fig. 1), as desired.
Both process variants are described in principle in the
prior art (Engineering Processes for Bioseparations, Ed.:
L.R. Weatherley, Heinemann, 1994, 135-165; Wandrey et al.,
Tetrahedron Asymmetry 1999, 10, 923-928).
For a complex/catalyst to appear suitable for use in a
membrane reactor, it has to fulfil many different
criteria. On the one hand, for example, it should be
ensured that there must be a sufficiently high retention
capacity for the polymer-enlarged complex/catalyst so that
there is satisfactory activity in the reactor over a
desired period, without complex/catalyst having to be
continually added, which is disadvantageous from the point
of view of process economy (DE19910691). In addition, the
catalyst used must have an appropriate tof (turn over
frequency), to be able to convert the substrate into the
product within economically reasonable periods.
In general the p-amino acid precursors were prepared in
accordance with specifications from the literature. For
the syntheses of the compounds, guidance can be taken from
the general specifications by Zhang et al. (G. Zhu, Z.
Chen, X. Zhang J. Org. Chem. 1999, 64, 6907-6910) and
Noyori et al. (W. D. Lubell, M. Kitamura, R. Noyori
Tetrahedron: Asymmetry 1991, 2, 543-554) and also Melillo
et al. (D. G. Melillo, R. D. Larsen, D. J. Mathre, W. F.
Shukis, A. W. Wood, J. R. Colleluori J. Org. Chem. 1987
52, 5143-5150) . Starting from the corresponding 3-
ketocarboxylates, the desired prochiral enamides were
obtained by reaction with ammonium acetate and subsequent
acylation. The hydrogenation products can be converted to
the P-amino acids by measures known to the person skilled
in the art (analogous to the a-amino acids).
Within the framework of the invention, mixtures of
polymer-enlarged polymers refer to the fact that
individual polymers of different origins are polymerised
together into block polymers. Random mixtures of the
monomers in the polymer are also possible.
Polymer enlargement within the framework of the invention
refers to the fact that one or more active units causing
chiral induction (ligands) are copolymerised in a suitable
form with other monomers or that these ligands are
attached to an existing polymer by methods known to the
person skilled in the art. Forms of the units suitable for
copolymerisation are well known to the person skilled in
the art and can be freely selected by him. The procedure
is preferably such that the molecule in question is
derivatised with groups capable of copolymerisation,
according to the type of copolymerisation, e.g. in the
case of copolymerisation with (meth)acrylates, by
attaching to acrylate molecules.
Methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl,
sec-butyl, tert-butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl or octyl,
together with all their bond isomers, can be considered as
(C1-C8)-alkyl radicals.
The (C1-C8) -alkoxy radical corresponds to the (C1-C8)-alkyl
radical, with the proviso that this is bonded to the
molecule via an oxygen atom.
As (C2-C8) -alkoxyalkyl, radicals in which the alkyl chain
is interrupted by at least one oxygen function are meant,
wherein two oxygen atoms cannot be joined to one another.
The number of carbon atoms gives the total number of
carbon atoms contained in the radical.
A (C3-C5)-alkylene bridge is a carbon chain with three to
five C atoms, this chain being bonded to the molecule in
question via two different C atoms.
The radicals just described can be mono- or
polysubstituted with halogens and/or radicals containing
N, 0, P, S or Si atoms. These are particularly alkyl
radicals of the type mentioned above having one or more of
these heteroatoms in their chain or being bonded to the
molecule via one of these heteroatoms.
(C3-C8)-Cycloalkyl means cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl,
cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl or cycloheptyl radicals etc. These
can be substituted with one or more halogens and/or
radicals containing N, 0, P, S or Si atoms and/or can have
N, 0, P or S atoms in the ring, such as e.g. 1-, 2-, 3-,
4-piperidyl, 1-, 2-, 3-pyrrolidinyl, 2-, 3-
tetrahydrofuryl, 2-, 3-, 4-morpholinyl.
A (C3-C8)-cycloalkyl-(C1-C8)-alkyl radical refers to a
cycloalkyl radical as set out above, which is bonded to
the molecule via an alkyl radical as stated above.
(C1-C8) -Acyloxy within the framework of the invention means
an alkyl radical as defined above with a maximum of 8 C
atoms, which is bonded to the molecule via a C00-
function.
(C1-C8)-Acyl within the framework of the invention means an
alkyl radical as defined above with a maximum of 8 C
atoms, which is bonded to the molecule via a CO- function.
A (C6-C18)-aryl radical is understood to mean an aromatic
radical with 6 to 18 C atoms. These include in particular
compounds such as phenyl, naphthyl, anthryl, phenanthryl
or biphenyl radicals, or systems of the type described
above annelated to the molecule in question, such as e.g.
indenyl systems, which can optionally be substituted with
(C1-C8)-alkyl, (C1-C8)-alkoxy, NR1R2, (C1-C8)-acyl or
(C1-C8) -acyloxy.
A (C7-C19) -aralkyl radical is a (C6-C18) -aryl radical bonded
to the molecule via a (C1-C8) -alkyl radical.
A (C3-C18)-heteroaryl radical within the framework of the
invention refers to a five-, six- or seven-membered
aromatic ring system of 3 to 18 C atoms, which contains
heteroatoms such as e.g. nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur in the
ring. In particular, radicals such as 1-, 2-, 3-furyl,
such as 1-, 2-, 3-pyrrolyl, 1-, 2-, 3-thienyl, 2-, 3-,
4-pyridyl, 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-, 7-indolyl, 3-, 4-,
5-pyrazolyl, 2-, 4-, 5-imidazolyl, acridinyl, quinolinyl,
phenanthridinyl and 2-, 4-, 5-, 6-pyrimidinyl are
considered as such heteroaromatics.
A (C4-C19)-heteroaralkyl means a heteroaromatic system
corresponding to the (C7-C19)-aralkyl radical.
Fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine are suitable as
halogens (Hal).
PEG means polyethylene glycol.
The term enantiomer-enriched or enantiomeric excess within
the framework of the invention means the proportion of an
enantiomer in a mixture with its optical antipode in a
range of >50 % and follows:
([Enantiomerl]-[Enantiomer2])/([Enantiomerl]+[Enantiomer2])=ee value
The naming of the complexes and ligands according to the
invention contains, within the framework of the invention,
all possible diastereomers, the two optical antipodes of
any diastereomer also being included therein.
The complexes and catalysts described here determine, with
their configuration, the optical induction in the product.
It goes without saying that the catalysts, when used
racemically, also yield racemic product. A subsequent
resolution of racemates then yields the enantiomer-
enriched products again. However, this is part of the
general knowledge of the person skilled in the art.
N-Acyl groups mean protective groups that are
conventionally used in amino acid chemistry for the
protection of nitrogen atoms. The following can be
particularly mentioned in this capacity: formyl, acetyl,
Moc, Eoc, phthalyl, Boc, Alloc, Z, Fmoc, etc.
The literature references cited in this document are
deemed to be contained in the disclosure.
Within the framework of the invention, membrane reactor
means any reaction vessel in which the molecular weight-
enlarged catalyst is enclosed in a reactor while low
molecular weight substances are fed into the reactor or
can leave it. The membrane can be integrated directly into
the reaction chamber or can be installed outside it in a
separate filtration module, in which the reaction solution
flows continuously or intermittently through the
filtration module and the retentate is recycled into the
reactor. Suitable embodiments are described in W098/22415
and in Wandrey et al. in Jahrbuch 1998, Verfahrenstechnik
und Chemieingenieurwesen, VDI p. 151 ff.; Wandrey et al.
in Applied Homogeneous Catalysis with Organometallic
Compounds, Vol. 2, VCH 1996, p. 832 ff.; Kragl et al.,
Angew. Chem. 1996, 6, 684 f., among others.
Within the framework of the invention, a polymer-enlarged
ligand/complex means one in which the molecular weight-
enlarging polymer is covalently bonded to the ligand.
Descriptions of the drawings:
Fig. 1 shows a membrane reactor with dead-end filtration.
The substrate 1 is transferred via a pump 2 into the
reactor chamber 3, which has a membrane 5. In the
agitator-driven reactor chamber, in addition to the
solvent, the catalyst 4, the product 6 and unreacted
substrate 1 are found. Mainly low-molecular weight
substances 6 are filtered off through the membrane 5.
Fig. 2 shows a membrane reactor with cross-flow
filtration. Here, the substrate 7 is transferred via the
pump 8 into the agitated reactor chamber, in which
solvent, catalyst 9 and product 14 are also found. By
means of the pump 16 a solvent flow is set up, which
passes via an optionally present heat exchanger 12 into
the cross-flow filtration cell 15. Here the low molecular-
weight product 14 is separated off by means of the
membrane 13. High molecular-weight catalyst 9 is then
passed back into the reactor 10 with the solvent flow,
optionally via a heat exchanger 12 again, optionally via
the valve 11.
Examples:
General
Reactions of air-sensitive compounds were performed in an
argon-filled glove box or in standard Schlenk tubes.
Solvents tetrahydrofuran (THF), diethyl ether and
dichloromethane were degassed and purified by means of
solvent-drying equipment (Innovative Technologies) by
filtration through a column filled with activated
aluminium oxide; toluene and pentane were additionally
freed of oxygen by a column filled with a copper catalyst.
The following examples serve to explain the invention.
They are not in any way intended to represent a
limitation.
Example 1: (R,R)-2,5-Dimethyl-1-phenyl-phospholane
One equivalent of n-BuLi (8.9 ml, 1.6 M. solution in n-
hexane) is added slowly to a solution of 1.57 g
phenylphosphine (14.3 mmol) in 100 ml of THF at -78 °C.
This is then stirred for a further two hours at room
temperature. After cooling again to -78 °C, one equivalent
of the cyclic sulfate 1 in 10 ml of THF is added via a
cannula and the reaction is allowed to end by stirring at
25°C for 3 hours. Before adding a further 1.2 eq. of n-
BuLi (9.8 ml) via syringe, the mixture is cooled again, n-
BuLi is added and stirring is continued overnight. For the
work-up, the solvent was drawn off in vacuo and the
residue taken up in 5 ml of water and extracted with 50 ml
of methylene chloride. After the phase separation the
solvent is removed and the residue is distilled in vacuo.
An almost colourless syrup is obtained in a yield of 71 %
(1.95 g).

Example 2: (R,R)-2,5-Dimethyl-1-trimethylsilyl-phospholane
According to the specification by Burk et al.
(Tetrahedron: Asymmetry 1991, 2, 569-592), 3.06 g (15.9
mmol) of (R,R) -2, 5-dimethyl-1-phenyl-phospholane in
approx. 100 ml THF is taken at room temperature and 2.5
equivalents of lithium are added. The mixture is stirred
overnight. The resulting deep-red suspension is separated
from the lithium using a cannula and 2 equivalents of
chlorotrimethylsilane (3.46 g) are slowly added at 0°C
using a syringe. Towards the end of the reaction, the
reaction solution becomes almost colourless. The solution
is concentrated in vacuo to 60-70% of its volume and the
precipitated lithium salts are filtered off. After
complete evaporation, the residue is distilled under
reduced pressure and the silyl compound is obtained in a
yield of 1.43 g (48%) as a colourless, liquid compound.
The 31P-NMR spectrum discloses the presence of two species
in a ratio of approx. 3:1. Based on an evaluation of the
NMR signals, it is obviously the desired chiral silyl
phospholane and the corresponding meso-compound.
Isomerisation reactions of this type have already been
described by Burk (Tetrahedron: Asymmetry 1991, 2,
569-592). Since, in the subsequent reaction with
dichloromaleic anhydride, only one diastereomer
crystallises out, this mixture of isomers could be used
for the nucleophilic reaction without prior separation.

Example 3: (R,R) -2,5-Dimethyl-1-trimethylsilyl-phospholane
To a solution of 9.50 g of tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphine
(37.9 mmol) in 300 ml of THF are added 1.05 eq. of MeLi
(28.4 ml, 1.4 M solution in ether), slowly, at room
temperature. Stirring is then continued overnight at room
temperature and the solvent is then removed under vacuum.
The residue is now taken up with 300 ml of ether and one
equivalent of the cyclic sulfate is added (6.83 g in
100 ml of ether) dropwise to the lithium salt solution.
After three hours, 28.4 ml of MeLi solution are again
added to the reaction mixture using a syringe. To complete
the reaction, the mixture is stirred overnight. For the
workup, the solvent is removed in vacuo and the residue is
carefully distilled in vacuo. A colourless, mobile syrup
is obtained in a yield of 70% (5.0 g).

Example 4: 2,3-Bis[(R,R)-2,5-dimethyl-phospholanyl]maleic
anhydride
According to the specification by Fenske et al. (Chem. Ber.
1974, 107, 117-122) 450 mg (2.4 mmol) of the
diastereomeric mixture of the silyl compound 3 were added
dropwise using a syringe over a period of 15 minutes to a
solution of 200 mg of 2,3-dichloromaleic anhydride (0.5
eq.) in 5 ml of diethyl ether at 0°C. The mixture was then
kept at -78°C overnight. The dark reddish-brown crystals
that precipitated were isolated from the solvent by bag
filtration and then dried. Yield.190 mg (49%).
In the NMR of the isolated compound, only one diastereomer
of a C2-symmetrical compound is found. This is the proof
that the corresponding meso-silylphosphine, which was
added to the reaction in a deficiency, either has not
reacted or the corresponding diastereomeric products do
not crystallise out. With this observation, a partial
racemisation in the synthesis of the {R,R)-2,5-dimethyl-1-
trimethylsilyl-phospholane can also be simultaneously
ruled out. Its use should lead to diastereomeric
bisphospholanes after phosphinylation, and these were not
detected.

190 mg (0.58 mmol) of the bisphospholane are dissolved in
2 ml of THF and slowly added at approx. -20°C to a
solution of one equivalent of [Rh(COD) 2]BF4 (236 mg) . This
is left to warm up to room temperature and stirred for a
