Directed homogeneous hydrogenation of olefins derived from methyl acrylate proceeds with high selectivity.The reactant must possess a polar substituent at a chiral centre situated in the α'-position; this may be -OH, CO2R or NHCOR.The catalyst should be a cationic chelating rhodium biphosphine complex.In all cases high anti-stereoselectivity is observed in the reduced product, and this can be rationalised by a simple and general model.With an optically active catalyst, efficient kinetic resolution occurs, providing a means of access to optically active acrylates.Experimental details of typical hydrogenation reactions are provided.
