In the search for green chemistry methods for the enantioselective reduction of ketoesters Saccharomyces cerevisiae-and ruthenium-catalyzed reactions in water have been investigated. The highest enantiomeric excesses for the reduction of α-and β-ketoesters have been obtained by S. cerevisiae. Chiral ruthenium catalysts are active for the reduction of all ketoesters with low to moderate enantioselectivities depending on the nature of the substrate and ligand. Interestingly, for several substrates both enantiomers of the hydroxyesters have been obtained according either to the catalytic method or to the structure of the ligand.

The synthesis and application of three examples of a new class of chiral (C2) atropisomeric diphosphines characterized by two interconnected five-membered heteroaromatic rings, with hindered rotation around the interanular bond, are described.Optically pure (+)- and (-)-2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-4,4',6,6'-tetramethyl-3,3'-bibenzothiophene (tetraMe-bitianp) (1a) and the parent unsubstituted system (+)- and (-)-bitianp (1b) were synthesized.They were found to be optically stable at 100 deg C and were successfully employed as ligands in the Ru(II)-catalyzed hydrogenation of α- and β-oxo esters to the corresponding α- and β-hydroxy esters and in the hydrogenation of olefinic substrates.The optical and chemical yields were comparable with those reported for the same Ru(II)-binap-catalyzed reactions carried out under the same experimental conditions.The 2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-3,3'-bibenzofuran (1c), the oxygenated analogue of bitianp, was found to be configurationally unstable at room temperature.Complete structural X-ray elucidation of the Pd complexes of 1a-c is reported.The advantages of these biheteroaromatic ligands over the classical biaryl systems are discussed.
