Abstract

Cationic rhodium(I) complexes containing the new chiral bidentate P,N ligand 2-[1-(1S,2S,5R)-(–)menthoxydiphenylphosphino]pyridine are prepared and used successfully in the enantioselective hydroformylation of olefinic substrates, styrene, 2-vinylnaphthalene, methylacrylate and vinylacetate.
