Mechanism of asymmetric hydrogenation of α-(acylamino)acrylic esters catalyzed by BINAP-ruthenium(II) diacetate
The mechanism of asymmetric hydrogenation of α-(acylamino)acrylic esters with Ru(CH3COO)2-[(S)-binap] (BINAP = 2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl), giving the S saturated products in > 90% ee, has been investigated by means
