substrates considered. In consequence, since the biphenyl dihedral angle is correlated to its<br />

natural bite angle (β) in the metal complexes [198 - 200] , the slight difference in dihedral angle<br />

observed between MeO-BIPHEP and bisphosphine 43, can be exploited to fine-tune a given<br />

reaction selectivity and increase ee of products obtained.<br />

Figure 4. Stereoscopic drawing of (M)-(-)-43.<br />

A last couple of enantiomerically pure bisphosphines was prepared in the biphenol<br />

series, starting from (P)-(-)- or (M)-(-)-2,2’-dibromo-6,6’-bis(methoxymethoxy) biphenyl<br />

(34). The usual organometallic treatment followed by addition of chlorodiphenylphosphine<br />

provided the expected chiral [6,6’-bis(methoxymethoxy)biphenyl-2,2’-diyl]bis<br />

(diphenylphosphine) ("MOMO-BIPHEP"; 44) in 69% yield, with ee > 99% according to<br />

chiral HPLC analysis.<br />
