A new diphosphine ligand bearing a hydroxy group in the backbone was synthesized starting from 9-bromocamphor. The rhodium(I) complex based on this ligand was tested in the hydrogenation of α- and β-amino acid precursors. The activity and selectivity of the catalyst were found to be strongly dependent upon the nature of the substrate. Thus, β-acetylamino carboxylates were obtained with up to 97% ee.
