Abstract
Rhodium(I) complexes of monodentate phosphonites derived from 2,2'-binaphth ol and 9,9'-biphenanthrol are compared with diphosphonite chelate analogues as catalysts for asymmetric hydrogenation; the high ee's (up to 92%) obtai ned with the monodentate systems and the observation that they are sometime s superior to the chelate analogues are discussed.
