Catalytic Asymmetric Hydroalkoxylation of C–C Multiple Bonds

Using nature’s blueprint to expand catalysis with Earth-abundant metals

The electron-poor phosphines P{C6H3(CF3)2-3,5}3 and P(C6F5)3 do not mimic phosphites as ligands for hydroformylation. A comparison of the coordination chemistry of P{C6H3(CF3)2-3,5}3 and P(C6F5)3 and the unexpectedly low hydroformylation activity of their rhodium complexes

Rhodium(I) complexes of robust phosphites derived from calix[4]arenes and their application in the hydroformylation of 1-hexene
