Sodium salts were all commercially available and used with-
out further manipulations. Enamides 2a–k were synthesised
following the literature procedures mentioned above.

The reaction was set up under an argon atmosphere. The au-
toclave was pressurised to 10 bar with H and the solution
stirred at 108C for 16 h. The pressure was released and the
solvent was evaporated. The residue was taken up in EtOH
and the solution was directly analysed by HPLC to deter-
mine the conversion and the enantioselectivity.
