Abstract: The structure and optical activity of two thiazolidine ligands, 2-(2-pyridyl)-4-carbomethoxy-1,3-thiazolidine(A) and 2-methyl-2-(2-pyridyl)-4-carbomethoxy-1,3-thiazolidine(B), were reported in this paper. The diastereomers of Aand Bwere purified by fractional crystallization or column chromatography. The asymmetric hydrosilylation of acetophenone catalyzed by in situ catalysts prepared from Rh(COD)Cl2 and ligand Aor Bwas investigated respectively. It was found that the cataytic reaction was only influenced by the chiral structure of C4 in thiazolidine, the chiral centre of C2 epimerized rapidly catalyzed by Rh(Ⅰ).

Key words: Thiazolidine, Chiral ligand, Asymmetric hydrosilylation
