CATALYTIC ASYMMETRIC HYDROGENATION WITH RHODIUM COMPLEXES OF IMPROVED DIOPS BEARING PARA-DIMETHYLAMINO GROUP ON THE BASIS OF OUR DESIGNING CONCEPT

Unsymmetrized and symmetrized DIOP analogues bearing para-dimethylamino group have been synthesized to prove the general utility of our designing concept for developing highly effective catalysts.Their rhodium complexes have been shown to be much more effective in the asymmetric hydrogenations than that of DIOP.
