RESUMO
Modular ligands of C(2) symmetry (13a-e, 14a,b,d, and ent-9), systematically modified at positions 2 and 5, were easily prepared from d-glucosamine, D-glucitol, and tartaric acid, respectively. The application of these ligands in the rhodium-catalyzed hydrogenation of methyl acetamidoacrylate, methyl acetamidocinnamate, and dimethyl itaconate shows that both the configuration and the substituents at positions 2 and 5 of the tetrahydrofuran backbone have a strong influence on the enantioselectivty of the processes.
