By introducing different groups onto 3, 3'-position of binaphthyl fragments and changing the N-substituents, a series of phosphine-phosphoramidite ligands were designed and synthesized. To understand the relationship between the substituents and the ligand performance, those ligands were applied in enantioselective asymmetric hydroformylations of styrene, vinyl acetate and allyl cyanide. Excellent enatioselectivityies (up to 98% ee) had been achieved.
