Several novel phosphoramidites have been prepd. by reaction of the primary amines para-vinylaniline, ortho-anisidine, 2-methoxyphenyl(4-vinylbenzyl)amine, 8-aminoquinoline and 3-vinyl-8-aminoquinoline with (S)-1,1'-bi-2-naphthylchlorophosphite, in the presence of base. Rhodium(I) complexes of these phosphoramidites catalyze the asym. hydrogenation of dimethylitaconate and dehydroamino acids and esters giving ee values up to 95%. Sol. noncrosslinked polymers of the para-vinylaniline and 3-vinyl-8-aminoquinoline-based phosphoramidites have been prepd. by free radical co-polymn. with styrene in the presence of AIBN as initiator. The corresponding [Rh(COD)]+ complexes serve as recyclable catalysts for the asym. hydrogenation dimethylitaconate and dehydroamino acids and esters to give ee values up to 80%.
