Abstract
The bis-phosphetanes 1 and 2 have been used as chiral ligands in the rhodiu m-catalysed hydrogenations of dehydroamino acid derivatives. An unusual inc rease of the optical yields at high hydrogen pressures has been noticed. Me chanistic implications are discussed. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Scienc e Ltd. All rights reserved.
