Book excerpt: Hydroformylation is one of the largest homogenously catalyzed transformations in industry, leading to important aldehyde product from alkene starting materials. Asymmetric hydroformylation on the other hand is underdeveloped. The challenge is to maintain high regio- and enantioselectivities for the resulting branched aldehyde. Extensive research is performed on the development and synthesis on chelating bisphosphorus ligands to help control the desired selectivities. However, the substrate scope is only limited for any single ligand. With the discovery of the class of bisdiazaphospholane ligands by Landis and coworker, new paths were opened in addressing a broad scope of substrates over the years. The ligand (S, S, S)-BisDiazaPhos represents a state-of-the-art ligand, that can hydroformylate a variety of substrate with fast rates, while maintaining both high regio- and enantioselectivity. This work focuses on the synthesis of novel 3,4-diazaphospholane ligands to expand the existing library and to address new substrate or improve upon existing selectivities. Chapter 3 shows that racemic 2,5-phenyl-and naphthyl-substituted bisdiazaphospholanes, containing the acylhydrazine backbone can be reduced with BH3 to yield alkylhydrazine based bisdiazaphospholanes. These reduced ligands have been tested in the rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation of different substrate classes. Interestingly, the regioselectivity with the reduced ligands was improved compared to their non-reduced analogues. This improvement is considered to come from the conformational change in the ring structure, where an increased torsion angle within the ring correlates to higher regioselectivities. A steric quadrant model is used to rationalize the improved regioselectivities for the reduced bisdiazaphospholanes. Chapter 4 describes the development of boronate bearing diazaphospholanes as directing or scaffolding ligands for the purpose of intramolecular hydroformylation of the challenging substrate class of allylic and homoallylic alcohols. This concept takes advantage of functional groups that can coordinate covalently to a substrate and datively to a metal center, leading to improved selectivity and reactivity compared to a non-directed transformations. The synthesis of these novel boronate bearing diazaphospholanes is laid out. The directed hydroformylation of allylic substrates was not observed with mono-diazaphospholanes. The synthesis towards chelating bisdiazaphospholane is described and thought to have the potential to gain further insights into the directing effects of bisdiazaphospholane structures.
