This invention relates to the field of
asymmetric hydrogenation technology, specifically disclosing an
electron-rich chiral bisphosphine ligand, specifically L1 to L5, and disclosing the synthetic pathways of ligands L1 to L5 and the intermediate compounds 1 to 5 in the synthetic
route. This invention uses L1 to L7 to complex with different
transition metal precursors, such as [Rh(COD)2]BAr. F 4. A series of stable, simple-to-prepare, and low-cost catalysts were obtained, including [Rh(NBD)2]BF4, [Rh(NBD)Cl]2, Rh(acac)(CO)2, Rh(
ethylene)2(acac), and [Rh(
ethylene)2Cl]2. These catalysts can be used for
asymmetric hydrogenation, especially in the
asymmetric hydrogenation step of the N-Boc amino
alcohol synthesis pathway, effectively overcoming the steric hindrance effect under different amino
protecting group conditions. With the participation of this catalyst, the asymmetric hydrogenation step in the N-Boc amino
alcohol synthesis pathway overcomes the technical defects of using hazardous materials in existing technologies, improving the production safety factor. Furthermore, with the participation of this catalyst, the asymmetric yield and selectivity both meet the requirements of industrial production.
