Rhodium complexes containing chiral phosphine ligands useful as hydrogenation catalysts

摘要

Rhodium (1) complexes containing the chiral phosphine ligand (R)-1,2- bis(diphenylphosphino)-1-cyclohexylethane which are useful as chiral hydrogenation catalysts. These catalysts are especially useful in the chiral hydrogenation of alpha-acylamido acrylic acids.
