Abstract:
Compounds of the formula II can be hydrogenated to the corresponding butane derivatives in the presence of homogeneous cataslysts composed of metal salts or complexes containing metals selected from the group consisting of Rh, Ir, and Ru and preferably containing diphosphine ligands, with, in addition, excellent optical yields being achieved when one of R2 and R3 is not a hydrogen atom and the diphosphine ligand is chiral.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a chiral spiro phosphine-nitrogen-sulfur (P—N—S) tridentate ligand, preparation method and application thereof. The P—N—S tridentate ligand is a compound represented by Formula I or Formula II, their racemates, optical isomers, or catalytically acceptable salts thereof. The ligand has a primary structure skeleton characterized as a chiral spiro indan skeleton structure with a thio group. The chiral spiro phosphine-nitrogen-sulfur tridentate ligand can be synthesized by reacting racemic or optical active compound 7-diary/alkyl phosphine-7′-amino-1,1′-spiro-dihydro-indene compound having a spiro-dihydro-indene skeleton as the starting material. The chiral spiro P—N—S tridentate ligand being complex with transition metal salt can be used in an asymmetric catalytic hydrogenation reaction for catalyzing carbonyl compound. In particular, in asymmetric hydrogenation reaction process, being complex with iridium for catalyzing β-alkyl-β-keto ester can obtain a high catalytic activity (a catalyst amount of 0.0002% mol) and high enantioselectivity (up to 99.9% ee) result. So the present invention has a practical value for industrial and commercial production.
