A new modular class of easily accessible, inexpensive, and efficient chiral diphosphine ligands for homogeneous stereoselective catalysis

Research has been conducted on the chiral ligands capable of high enantioselectivity in homogeneous catalysis. The synthesis of the enantiopure diphosphine, a representative of this class of ligands, has been carried out and the application of the ruthenium, rhodium and palladium complexes as homogeneous catalysts is described.
