Abstract

Process for preparing a catalyst solution by reacting metal complexes and diphosphines in the presence of an inert organic solvent, which is characterized in that a) an uncharged or cationic metal complex having a TM8 metal as central atom, and b) a salt of a chiral ditertiary diphosphine which has one or two phospholane groups which are bound to a carbon chain having from 2 to 4 carbon atoms and contain anions selected from the group consisting of RCCOO−, RCSO3−, BF4−, PF6−, AsF6−, SbF6−, B(C6F5)4− and B(3,5-bistrifluoromethylphenyl)4−, are reacted with one another, where the ratio of the components a) and b) is from 1:1 to 1:2 and RC is C1-C6-haloalkyl, C5-C10-halocycloalkyl or C6-C10-haloaryl.
