The syntheses of new recyclable cationic BINAP type ligand diguanidinium 1
and PEG-bound BINAP ligand 2 are described. The use of ethylene glycol inst
ead of water increased the enantioselectivity in the ruthenium-promoted hyd
rogenation reaction of functionalized ketones, These catalysts are highly a
ctive (catalyst/substrate ratio up to 1:10 000, up to 99% e.e,), The rhodiu
m-mediated hydrogenation of acetamidoacrylic acid was also examined using 1
and 3 as chiral auxiliaries, (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights res
