Distinct differentiation: β,β-Disubstituted acrylic acids with sterically similar geminal diaryl groups can be hydrogenated with excellent enantioselectivities in the presence of a RhI complex formed in situ with two-component ligands, a chiral secondary phosphine oxide (SPO) and an achiral phosphine (Ph3P). The sense of asymmetric induction was found to be controlled by the substrate configuration, thus allowing access to both enantiomers of the product with the same catalyst. Copyright
