Trost ligand

Chemical compound


The Trost ligand is a diphosphine used in the palladium-catalyzed Trost asymmetric allylic alkylation. Other C2-symmetric ligands derived from trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane (DACH) have been developed, such as the (R,R)-DACH-naphthyl ligand derived from 2-diphenylphosphino-1-naphthalenecarboxylic acid. Related bidentate phosphine-containing ligands derived from other chiral diamines and 2-diphenylphosphinobenzoic acid have also been developed for applications in asymmetric synthesis.

(R,R)-DACH-naphthyl Trost ligand, (1R,2R)-(+)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane-N,N′-bis(2-diphenylphosphino-1-naphthoyl)
