New mono- and bidentate P-ligands using one-pot click-chemistry: synthesis and application in Rh-catalyzed hydroformylation

Three families of new phosphorus ligands have been prepared using the click-chemistry approach proceeding in only two steps and without intermediate P-protection. The methodology allows the high yield production of mono- and bidentate P-ligands, bearing at least one P–O bond. The ligands were tested in the Rh-catalyzed hydroformylation of 1-octene.
