Typical Procedure for Asymmetric Hydrogenation
(17b, entry 5, Table 1)
The starting material was prepared as previously de-
scribed.[52] The hydrogenation vessel (Figure 8) was charged
with diene 17b (0.027 g., 0.136 mmol) and complex {Rh-
ACHTUNGTRENNUNG[(S,S)-MeDuphos]NBD}OTf (0.65 mg, 0.01 equiv., from
stock solution in MeOH?) in MeOH (1.0 mL). After equili-
bration under H2 as described above, the reaction mixture
was stirred for 8 min. After standard work-up the product 3-
tert-butyldimethylsiloxy-1-pentene,[53] containing 12% of un-
reduced starting material, was dissolved in THF (2 mL.) and
added dropwise at 08C to a 1M solution of tetrabutylammo-
nium fluoride in THF (1.36 mL). The solution was stirred at
08C for 1 hour and allowed to warm up to room tempera-
ture. It was then taken up in diethyl ether (20 mL) and
washed with brine solution (3ꢂ10 mL). The organic solution
was dried over magnesium sulfate and solvent evaporated to
give 1-penten-3-ol as the main product, which was dissolved
in CDCl3 and used directly in the next step. To this solution
was added pyridine (11 mL, 0.134 mmol) and PCl3 (4 mL,
0.045 mmol) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was
stirred for 30 min. and the 31P NMR was taken directly (see
Supporting Information for full details of ee determination).
