Four macrocyclic and one non-cyclic chiral diphosphine ligand containing a 2,2 Hsubstituted 1,1 H -binaphthyl unit were synthesized in 6 steps from (R)-2,2 H -dimethoxy-1,1 H -binaphthyl in overall yields of 8±51%. Their asymmetric induction in allylic alkylation reactions was investigated showing enantioselectivities up to 98%.
