Popis: A comparative study of asymmetric hydrogenation and deuteration of methyl levulinate catalyzed by the RuII—(S)-BINAP—HCl system (BINAP is 2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl) in MeOH and MeOD was carried out. The results obtained suggest an important role of the protic solvent in the formation of catalytically active ruthenium complexes.
