The present invention relates to a process for the asymmetric hydrogenation of a ketonic compound and derivative. The invention relates to the use of optically active metal complexes as catalysts for the asymmetric hydrogenation of a ketonic compound and derivative. The process for the asymmetric hydrogenation of a ketonic compound and derivative is characterized in that the asymmetric hydrogenation of said compound is carried out in the presence of an effective amount of a metal complex comprising as ligand an optically active diphosphine corresponding to one of the following formulae: STR1

We describe a convenient, chemoselective asymmetric reductive amination procedure for the conversion of ketones to chiral hydrazines and amines. The key step in the three-step process is enantioselective DuPHOS-Rh-catalyzed hydrogenation of the C=N double bond of N-acylhydrazones. Detailed optimization studies revealed the effect of solvent, temperature, and the N- acyl group on the enantioselectivity and catalytic efficiency of the reaction. The reduction products, N-acylhydrazines, were converted to hydrazines or amines through hydrolysis or treatment with samarium(II) iodide, respectively.
