Popis: 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 e.e.s of up to 48%. Hydrogenation of the α,β-unsaturated methyl esters using a Ru-BINAP catalyst gave higher e.e.s of up to 84%. Method development for the determination of the enantiomeric excesses of these derivatives using chiral HPLC is also reported.
