Air- and moisture-stable white powder or crystals, m. p. 193-197 oC

Uses: Ligand for highly efficient and selective metal catalysts.  Building block for heteropolymetallic compounds and materials.

 

1. Rh-catalyzed carbonylation of methanol (the Monsanto Acetic Acid Process which accounts for >55% of all acetic acid produced world-wide) under exceedingly mild conditions (80 oC and 50 psig CO) at industrial production rates (turnover frequency = ca. 400 h-1).  Can also be used for ethanol carbonylation: J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun. 1987, 1891.  U.S. 4,670,570.

2. Carbonylation of MeOH to methyl acetate in the presence of dppeO/Rh catalysts: Eur. Pat. Appl. EP 171804.

3. Rh-catalyzed carbonylation of esters to carboxylic acid anhydrides: U.S. 4,563.309.

4. Isomerisation of methyl formate to acetic acid: PCT Int. Appl. 8600889.

5. Rh-catalyzed hydroformylation of olefins in the presence of dppeO occurs with uncommonly high selectivity toward the desired linear product: U.S. 4,522,933, 4,491,675, and 4,593,011.

6. Pd-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation of olefins with uncommonly high selectivity toward linear acids: Izv. Akad. Nauk SSSR, Ser. Khim. 1992, 2003.

7. Asymmetric allylic alkylation in the presence of cinchonidinium salts as chiral phase-transfer catalysts: J. Org. Chem. 2002, 67, 7418.

8. Synthesis of materials: Chem. Commun. 2002, 520.
