Cyclic compounds of trl~alent 3hoRphorus

The invention relate~ to noYel cyclic phosphoru~(III)
co~pound~ which act a~ bident te ligands to form complex
compounds with metals, i~ partIcular metalR of group 8 of
the Periodic Table of the Element~, and al~o to a process
for the preparation thereof. The comple~ compound~ are,
homogeneouRly di~olved, used as con~tituent~ o~ cata-
ly~t~, in particular hydroformylation ~ataly~t~.

Complex co~pounds which as the central ato~ ha~e a metal
of group 8 of ~he Periodic Table of the Elements a~d ~8
liga~ds have phosphorus(III) compounds, phosphine~ or
I phosphites a~d in addition, i desired, ~urther groups
capable of comple~ formatio~, ha~e in recent year~ gained
increasing importance a~ cataly~ts~ Thus the reaction,
practiced industrially on a large scale, of olefins with
~ynthesis gas to gi~e aldehydes (hydroformylation) is
carried out in the presence of cataly~t ~ystems compris- .!
ing cobalt and, in part~cular, rhodium and triphenyl-
pho~phine. Catalyst~ ba~ed on phosphine-containi~g
complex compounds ha~e also prove~l use~ul for the hydro-
genation of unsaturated, carbo~-carbon or carbon-oxyg~n
multiple bond~ with molecular hydrogen. In the case~ men-
io~ed, the ligand~ are usually pr~sent in exce~ othat ~he catalyst ~y~te~ comprises complex co~pound and
free ligand. In accordance with the ~olubility of the
catalyst~ in organic media, the reaction~ ara carried out
in homogeneou~ ~olution.

The known catalytic proces~e~ have proven very useful on
an industrial scale. Nevertheless, efforts are made to
~urther perEect the k~own proce~ses.

Thu~, attempt~ are made to increase the activity of the
catalyst~ by modification of the co~plex ligands and to
prolong their effecti~ene~s, 80 as to reduce the specific
catalyst re~uirement. In addition, e~orts are made to
develop matched liga~d systemis which solve indi~idual
problem~. An exampl~ ~hich ~a~ be ~e~tioned ii~ the

control of the regio~lecti~ity and tereo electivity of
chemical ~ynthe~es with the aim of obtaini~g pure
enantiom~rs ~rom prochiral ~tarting materials. Such
reactions are gai~ing ever greater importance, in par-
ticular in the ~ield o~ ~ine chemicals 2nd pharmaceuti-
cal~.

The influencing of th~ ster~osele~ti~ity is no longer, oronly insu~ficiently, po~sible usi~g monodentata ligand3.
There~ore, bide~tate ligands are predominantly used for
obtaining pure enantiomeric producta. Among these, the
ligand hitherto ac ieving importance have be~n predomi-
nantly diphosphines. Thus, for example for the 3elective
hydroformylation of ~,~-unsaturated esters such as
acrylic est:erR as prochiral compounds, u~e is made of
catalyst sy~tems ba~ed on cobalt/1,2-bi~(diphenyl-phos-
phi~o)ethane and rhodium/1,4-bi~(diphenylphosphino)-
buta~e. The reaction~ require energetic rePction con-
ditio~R, i.e. te~peratures o~ ~rom 120 to 150C and
pres~urea of ~rom 5 to 10 MPa. Furthermore, the catalyst
~yst~ms ha~e pro~en to be relati~ely unstable. Under
milder conditions uRing the rhodium catalyst, the
starting compounds are predominanl_ly hydrog~ated.

It is therefore an object of the i~Yentio~ to develop
phosphoru~ compoundR suitable as con~titueats of homoge-
25 ~eously ~oluble c~talyst 8y3temg, in the molecule o
¦ which compound~ ~here are present two phosphorus(III)
atom~ capable of complex fo~mation, in particular with
rhodium. The catalyst system~ ~hould pos~es~ high activi-
ty and regioselecti~ity and, for example, al~o make
po~sible stereospecific synthe~e~.

sodium/pota~Ri~m alloy. The metal deri~ati~e, reacted
with the dihalo compound, gives th~ desired cyclic
phosphorus compounds.

The phosphorus compound~ of the invention act as biden-
tate ligands to form complex compounds with nu~erous
metal atomR. Among them, the complex compounds of rhodium
are of particular importance as highly active catalyst~
for th low-pressure hydroformylation of olefi~s to gi~e

2,2'-bis(3,4-dimethylpho3pholemethylene)-l,lr-biphenyl
and 2,2'-bis~3,4-dimethylphospholemethylene)-
1,1'-binaphthyl.

The hydroformylation of olefins usi.ng cataly~t sy~tems o~
rhodium and the no~el phosphorus(III) compound~ is
carried out at pressures of fro~ ~bout 0.1 to about
6 MPa, preferably from 0.5 to 3 MPa and in particular
from 1.5 to 2.0 MPa. The reaction t:emperature c n be from
about 20 to about 200C, the ra~ge ~rom about 50 to about
170C and in particulzr from about 80 to about 150C
being pr~ferred.

The cataly~t is fed to the rPaction mixture preformed,
adYantageously dissol~ed in a sol~ent, or iB even formed
from the components in the mixture of the reactants under
the condition~ of the hydroformylatio~ reaction. Both in
the prior preparatio~ and in the oa~e of the in-~itu
preparation of the cataly~t, the rhodium can be used a~
metal in finely diYided fo~m or as a compound, for
ex~mple a~ th~ oxide~, the salt~ o~ i~org~nic or oryanic

The amounts of rhodium requirPd are very ~mall, aR little
¦ as about 1 x 10-6 mol of Rh per mole of olefi~ i8 ef~ec-
¦ ti~e. However, for economic rea~o~, increasing the
reaction rate, use i~ preferably made of ~rom about
5 1 ~ 10-2 to about 1 x 10-5 ~ol a~d in particular from
1 X 19-2 to 1 x lO-~ mol of Rh per mole o~ olefin. The
I molar ratio o~ rhodium to liga~d in the reaction ~ixture
i8 from about 1 to 1 up to 200, preferably ~rom about 1
to 2 up to 10 and in particular from about 1 to 2.5 up to
4.

~ynthesiR ga~ and olefin are continuously ~ed to the
rea~tor in the amount i~ which they are con3u~ed. The
molar ratio of carbo~ monoxide and hydrogen in the
synthesis ga~ ca~ vary within wide rangeR and can be from
about l to 10 up to about 10 to l, the type of the olefin
to be reacted being able to ha~e an influence on the
ratio to be ~elected. Preference i~ given to mixture~
which comprise carbon monoxide and h~drogen in a ratio of
~rom about 1 to 2 up to a~out 2 to 1 and in particular
20 from about 1 to 1.5 up to 1.5 to 1. Synthesis gas, based
on ole~in, is alway~ uaed in exoess; a molar excess of
~ynthe~i~ gaR (CO+E2), based on ole~in, of about 0.5 up
to about 20 iB usual, from about 1 up to about 10 is
pre~erred.

The reactio~ can be carried out in the prese~ce o~
. solventa which are i~ert towards r~actants and product~
u~der the reactio~ conditions. The e ~ol~ents include,
~or example, a~omatic hyd~ocarbon ~uch as benze~e,
toluene and xyle~e, aliphatic hydrocarbons ~uch as
pentanea, kerosene and ~ineral oils, and alao alcohol~
etheris and e~ter~

Th~ hydrofiormylation iB carried out in conventio~al
reactor3, it can be carried out co~tinuou~ly or batch-
wi~e. I~ a continuoui~i reactio~ procedure, the product iB

lation. The synthesi~ gas iB recirculated to-the reaction
zo~e. To keep the activity of the cataly~t sy~tem at a
uniformly high level, it can be ad~isable to draw cata-
lyRt of~ from the reactor ~rom time to time and toreplace it with fresh catalyst.

The ~o~el cla R of bide~tate ligands i~, together with
rhodium, ~uccessfully u~ed in the hydroformylation of
differe~t olefi~s. The e i~clude ~-olefin~ havi~g ~rom 2
to 20 carbon atoms, which ~an have substituent~ which are
inert under the reaction condition Examples of auitable
olefin~ are ethylene, propylene, 1-butene, 2~butene, ~lao
the pentenes, hexene~ and heptene~. The ~o~el lig~nd~ are
of particular importance becau~e of their stereospecific-
ity in the hydroformulation of prochiral olefins.

The following examples illustrate the in~entio~ withoutlimiting it to the embodime~t~ deRcribed in detail.

2.) Preparation of 2,2'-bi~(3,4-dimeth~lphosphole-
methYlene)-l,l'-bina~hthyl

(a) 2,2'-Bi methyl-l,l'-binaphthyl

83.8 g (0.379 mol) of 1-brOInO-2-~ethylnaphthalene,
di~olved i~ 150 ml of ether and 150 ml of benze~e, are
alowly added dropwi~e at room te~perature to 10 g
(O.415 mol) of magneslum turni~gs (previously admixed
with a few dropR of 1,2-dibromoethane) ~uspe~dei~ in 30 ml
of ether. The dropwi~e addition of the halQg~nated
axomatic in c~rxied out over a period of 4 hour~, the
dropwise addition rate being Relected such that th~
reactio~ batch alway~ r~main~ ~t hand temperature.
Sub~eque~tly, the reaction mixture iB heated at reflux
for another hour and is ~tirred fu~ther o~ernight at room
temperature. The suape~sio~ i~ added i~ portions ~rom a
dropping fun~el to 74 g (0.335 mol) o~ l-bromo-2-methyl-
naphthalene, dii~sol~ed in 250 ml of ether, and 2.5 g
(3.8 ~mol) o~ E(PPh3)2Ni~Cl2 (coupli~g catalyst). The
mi~ture i~ then heated for 24 hour~ under reflux, cooled
to roo~ t~perature and hydrolyzed with 200 ml oif water
a~d 200 ml of 20% by weight strength hydrochloric acid.
The orga~ic phas~ ~epariated ~rom the aqueous pha~e i~

/~

w~shed two more time~ with 200 ml of water, i~ separated
again and i~ dried wi~h mag~eRium Rulfate. The organic
sol~e~ts are taken off in vacuo, the residue i~ distilled
via a Rmall Vigxeux colum~ at pressures ~ 1.3 Pa. ~nder
ths given conditionR, the desired compou~d goes over in
a ra~ge of 169-173~C as a green oil which i~ recrystal-
lized ~rom 10 ml of aceto~e at -18C.

Yield: 74.9 g (00265 mol, 69% of theory)

(b) 2,2'-BiRbromomethvl-l.l'-binaphthYl (according to W.
Wenner, J. Org. Chem. 1952, 17, 523-528)

28.2 g (0.1 mol) of 2,2'-dimethyl-1,1'-binaphthyl are
RuRpended together with 35.6 g (0.2 mol) of N-bromo-
Ruccinimide in 65 ml of carbon tetrachloride. 0.43 y of
azobisiRobutyronitrile i~ added in a number of portions
o~er 4 hour~ u~der reflux and the mixture i8 heated for
a urther 9 hours under reflu~. After filtering of the
~uccinimide and evaporating the filtrate, there remains
a yellow, ~iscous oil. It iR rec~r~tallized from 20 ml of
ligroin (light petroleum mixture~ and the desired white
~0 solid iB iltered off.

Yield: 35.55 g (0.08 mol, 80% of theory)

(C) 2, 2' -~iB (3,4-di~ethylpho~pholemethYlene)-
l,l'-binaphthyl

9.9 g (0.022 mol) of 2,2'-bisbromomethyl-1,1' ~inaphthyl
in 20 ~1 of tetrahydrofuran are added dropwise to a
suspen~io~ o~ 5.0 g (0.045 mol) of 3,4-di~ethylpho~pholyl
anion in 120 ~1 o~ tetrahydrofuran over 2 hourR. A~ter
39 ~tirriug for 18 hours at roo~ t~mperature, the sol~e~t i8
co~pletely rOEmo~ed and the whitish brown residue i8
extracted with BO ml of tolue~e i~ a Soxhlet apparatus.
~ubaequent e~aporation leads to a brown oil fsom which
