Kelliphite is an acronym for the organophosphorus compound 66′-[(11′-Biphenyl-22′-diyl)bis(oxy)]bis[48-di-tbutyl-121011-tetramethyl]dibenzo[df][132]dioxaphosphepin. This chiral ligand is widely used in asymmetric synthesis. In one example this ligand is used to form a rhodium complex to catalyze asymmetric hydroformylation of prochiral olefins. It has been shown that high substrate concentrations as well as a wide variety of functional groups are tolerated.
