Abstract:
Ligands for use with catalyst compositions used in hydroformylation reactions are described herein. The ligands are used with various octofluorotoluene or hydrocarbon solvents and achieve an increase in isoselectivity with an increase in temperature, an increase in TON with an increase in temperature, and/or will show isoselectivity that is surprisingly high in comparison to the hydroformylation reactions using common solvents.

Abstract:
A polymer having bis(diphenylphosphino)binaphthyl groups that can be used as a catalyst for an addition reaction, especially an asymmetric 1,4-addition reaction, or a reduction reaction, especially an asymmetric reduction reaction, and that can be easily recovered and recycled. The polymer having the bis(diphenylphosphino)binaphthyl groups is one resulting from repetition of a racemic or optically active 2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl compound substituted at 5-position thereof with an unsaturated terminal of one (meth)acryloyl group of a compound having multiple (meth)acryloyl groups, that another 2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl compound of a next unit is substituted at 5′-position thereof with an unsaturated terminal of another (meth)acryloyl group of the compound having multiple (meth)acryloyl groups so as to have a molecular weight of 1500 to 10000. The reduction catalyst comprises this polymer and a transition metal.

The catalyst is used in a hydroformylation reaction, preferably one in which the liquid phase has been volumetrically expanded with a compressed gas, is readily recyclable using nanofiltration.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of producing an optically active fluorinated oxetane, which can be an important pharmaceutical or agricultural intermediate, by reaction of a fluorinated α-keto ester with an acyl alkenyl ether in the presence of a transition metal complex with an optically active ligand. This method utilizes a catalytic asymmetric synthesis process and does not require a stoichiometric amount of chiral source. It is thus possible to dramatically reduce the amount of use of the asymmetric catalyst especially when the reaction is performed at a high concentration of substrate (with the use of a small amount of reaction solvent) or in the absence of a reaction solvent (under neat conditions). Further, the target optically active fluorinated oxetane can be obtained with high yield and with very high optical purity. The product contains almost no difficult-to-separate impurity and shows high chemical purity.
