Abstract

Electronically enriched chiral BINAP derivatives were synthesized incorporating electron- donating substituents at the para-phenyl position and evaluated for the Ru-catalyzed homogeneous asymmetric hydrogenation of α-ketoesters with up to 92% ee. These diphophosphines were also excellent ligands for the iridium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of quinolines.
