A total of four biferrocene-based Walphos-type ligands have been synthesized, structurally characterized, and tested in the rhodium-, ruthenium- and iridium-catalyzed hydrogenation of alkenes and ketones. Negishi coupling conditions allowed the biferrocene backbone of these diphosphine ligands to be built up diastereoselectively from the two nonidentical and nonracemic ferrocene fragments (<i>R</i>)-1-(<i>N</i>,<i>N</i>-dimethylamino)ethylferrocene and (<i>S</i><sub>Fc</sub>)-2-bromoiodoferrocen ...[more]
