Several synthetic strategies to diamines 1-3 are described. The optimum approach via opening of aziridine afforded 1-3 in 29-60% yield over 3-5 steps. A study on formation of the benzylic stereocenter using Toste's rhenium-catalyzed asymmetric reduction of phosphinyl ketimines was also evaluated and afforded 15 in 92% de.

The ruthenium diacetate complexes ligated by chiral spirobifluorene diphosphines (SFDP) were very effective catalysts for the asymmetric hydrogenation of tiglic acid derivatives and α-methylcinnamic acid derivatives with high activities and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee). The α-aryloxybutenoic acids can also be hydrogenated by these catalysts to provide the corresponding saturated α-aryloxybutanoic acids in high yields (89-93%) and enantioselectivities (up to 95% ee). In this reaction, the SFDP ligand with para-methyl groups on the P-phenyl rings gave the best results.

High and wide: The high rigidity and large dihedral angle of chiral, spirobifluorene-based diphosphane ligands lead to excellent reactivity and enantioselectivity in the ruthenium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids (see scheme).
