Chiral 1,2-bis(phosphetano)benzenes are readily prepared from accessible, optically pure 1,3-diol cyclic sulfates. Their ruthenium complexes catalyze the enantioselective hydrogenations of functionalized carbonyls with moderate-to-high enantiomeric excesses. High levels of diastereo- and enantioselectivity are achieved, especially in the hydrogenation of β-diketones to the corresponding anti-1,3-diols.
