It has been demonstrated for the first time that Rh(I)-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of cyclic β-enamino acid derivatives 1 using chiral bisphosphines could be a highly efficient synthetic method for optically active homoproline derivatives. The enantioselectivity and conversion yield were largely dependent upon the chiral ligand. Using the Me-BDPMI forming a seven-membered metal chelate, the N-acetylated β-enamino acid methyl ester 1a was hydrogenated to give optically active homoproline derivative 2a with 100% conversion and 96% ee.
