From readily preparable chiral diamines were obtained new aminophosphines, (3S)--3-aminopiperidine, and (3S)--3-(methylamino)piperidine.Asymmetric hydrogenation of α-acylaminoacrylic acids, employing Rh(I) complexes with these aminophosphines as catalyst, gave optically active N-acyl-α-amino acids.
