Abstract
The complex of [Rh(COD)Cl] 2 and 2 R ,4 R )-( + )-2,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)pentane was used as an effective cata-lyst for the asymmetric ring opening reaction of oxabenzonorbornadienes with various phenols by employing ZnI 2 as the acti-vator. Under the optimized reaction conditions, high enantioselectivities with good yields could be obtained from a wide scope of oxabenzonorbornadienes and phenols.
