β¦ Synopsis
Two new water-soluble chelating alkyl phosphines are described. The compounds are prepared by radical addition of allylic substrates to 1,2-bis(phosphino)ethane in methanol. Complexes with the stoichiometry of 1.5: 1 diphosphine:rhodium(I) are effective in the hydrogenation of the olefins I-hexene and crotonaldehyde. Catalyst solutions prepared with the ligand DSPrPE were found to be 3 times more active than those prepared with TPPTS (triphenylphosphine trisulfonate) under identical conditions. Several rhodium complexes of the two ligands are described, and the crystal structure of Rh(l,Zbis[(dihydroxypropyl)phosphino]ethane}&l was determined.
