ABSTRACT

Air-stable and tunable chiral bisdihydrobenzooxaphosphole ligands (BIBOPs) were employed in rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydroformylation of various terminal olefins with excellent conversions (>99%), moderate-to-excellent enantioselectivities (up to 95:5 er), and branched to linear ratios (b:l) of up to 400.
