Abstract
A variety of biarylbisphosphine-based ligands for ruthenium have been used to catalyze the asymmetric hydrogenation of beta-dicarbonyl syste ms. The method of preparation of the catalyst system plays an importan t role in the stereochemical outcome of the reaction as well as the re action conditions required. The mechanism of the reaction has not been fully elucidated, but some insight has been gained. (C) 1997 Publishe d by Elsevier Science Ltd.
