Technical Notes:
1. As a highly electron-donating and conformationally rigid ligand, the rhodium complex of DuanPhos has exhibited remarkably high enantioselectivities and reactivities for the hydrogenation of a variety of functionalized olefins
2. Rhodium/DUANPHOS catalyst used in the synthesis of 2-trifluoromethyl lactic acid by asymmetric hyd roformylation.
