Abstract
Enantioselective hydrogenation of some α, β-unsaturated nitriles and their corresponding methyl esters bearing a phthalimidomethyl substituent at the α-carbon using Rh-DuPHOS catalysts afforded β-amino acid precursors with modest ees of up to 48%. Hydrogenation of the α, β-unsaturated methyl esters using a Ru-BINAP catalyst gave higher ees of up to 84%. Method development for the determination of the enantiomeric excesses of these ...
