Asymmetric Hydrogenation of α-Keto Acid Derivatives with Rh(I)–Chiral Diphosphinite System. Effect of Halide Counterion on the Asymmetric Induction

Abstract
A chiral diphosphinite ligand having dicyclohexylphosphinooxy and dimethylamino moieties (Cy-POP-AE) was effective for the asymmetric hydrogenation of N-(benzoylformyl) amino acids by a Rh(I) catalyst under mild conditions. A neutral rhodium(I) precursor enabled a double asymmetric induction in methanol, while a cationic precursor caused an asymmetric induction controlled mainly by the substrate chirality.
