Abstract

Various chiral diphosphine ligands (P–P) have been introduced in the coordination sphere of neutral or cationic rhodium complexes, and the generated species catalyze efficiently the hydroaminomethylation reaction of styrene with piperidine. The diphospholane ligand family is particularly adapted to this tandem reaction leading to the branched amine with good chemo-and regioselectivity. We analyzed in detail the main reasons why the reaction ...
