(Chemical Equation Presented) A series of ruthenium(II) complexes containing BINOL-based monodonor phosphorus ligands have been prepared and applied to the asymmetric catalysis of the hydrogenation of aryl/alkyl ketones. The best ligands for this application are those which contain an aromatic groups with either a methoxide or bromide on the ortho position. Using these ligands, alcohols with ee's of up to 99% are formed.

The synthesis of a series of closely related mono- and bis(diazaphospholidine) ligands has been achieved using the condensation of a diamine with a bis(dimethylamino)arylphosphine. The resulting ligands have given excellent results in palladium-catalysed allylic substitution reactions to form C-C bonds (up to 89% ee) and C-N bonds (up to 78% ee).
