A solution of (E)-2-[2-(tert-butoxy)-2-oxoethyl]-5-(2-methyl-1,1′-biphenyl-4-yl)-2-pentenoic acid (3.8 g, 10 mmol) and 1,1′-bis[(2S,4S)-2,4-diethylphosphetano]ferrocene-(1,5-cyclooctadiene)-rhodium (I) tetrafluoroborate (7.8 mg, 10 μmol) in methanol (10 ml) was stirred at 20-25° C. for 24 hours, under hydrogen (60 p.s.i.). The mixture was then concentrated in vacuo to leave the title compound as a yellow oil (3.8 g, 98% conversion, enantiomeric excess=95%, 95% pure by NMR).
