Catalytic asymmetric synthesis of secondary alkyl alcohols (up to 78 percent ee) was accomplished by asymmetric hydrogenation of enol diphenylphosphinates, derived from prochiral ketones such as acetophenone, 3-methyl-2-butanone, and 2-octanone, in the presence of a cationic rhodium complex of (R)-1-ethanol (BPPFOH).
