The steroidal 1,4-diphosphines 3α- and 3β-diphenylphosphino-2a-(2'-diphenylphosphinoethyl)-5α-cholestanes and their 5H-benzo[b] phosphindole derivatives have been prepared and shown to be useful ligands in asymmetric hydrogenation reactions. Interestingly the 3α- and 3β-derivatives lead to opposing enantioselection preferences when used in these reactions. A steroidal 1,3-diphosphine, 3α-diphenylphosphino-2α-diphenylphosphinomethyl-5α-cholestane, has been prepared as a mixture containing some of the 3β-epimer. The 3α-1,3-diphosphine led to similar enantioselection in hydrogenation reactions as the 3α-1,4-diphosphine, and a model is proposed to explain the sense of the enantioselectivity in the 1,4- and 1,3-diphosphines. A steroidal 1,6-diphosphine has also been prepared but leads to lower optical yields in the hydrogenation reactions. These ligands have been shown to lead to only poor to moderate optical yields when used in asymmetric carbon-carbon bond forming reactions.

Asymmetric hydrogenation of keto-acids was accomplished by catalytic amounts of BINAP-ruthenium complexes to afford the corresponding δ-lactones in high yields. The optical purity of the synthesised δ-lactones was determined by chiralcel (OD) in the 9–56% range.

RuCl2 (phosphine) 2 (1,2-diamine) complexes, coupled with an alkaline base in 2-propanol, allows for preferential hydrogenation of a C=O function over coexisting conjugated or nonconjugated C=C linkages, a nitro group, halogen atoms, and various heterocycles. The functional group selectivity is based on the novel metal-ligand bifunctional mechanism. The use of appropriate chiral diphosphines and diamines results in rapid and productive asymmetric hydrogenation of a range of aromatic, hetero-aromatic, and olefinic ketones. The versatility of this method is manifested by the asymmetric synthesis of various biologically significant chiral compounds.

A series of highly rigid oxa-spiro phosphine–oxazoline ligands (O-SIPHOX) were synthesized efficiently, their iridium complexes showed high reactivity and enantioselectivity in the synthesis of key intermediate of anti-obesity drug lorcaserin.
