反応手順

5.73 g (39.8 mmol) of 2-methylenesuccinic acid 4-monomethyl ester were introduced into 12 ml of methanol under protective gas in a 50 ml glass autoclave, and 0.12 ml of a solution of 6.6 mg of (RophosARhCOD)CF3SO3 (=precatalyst) in 3 ml of methanol was added (0.00036 mmol of precatalyst). Hydrogenation was then carried out at 60° C. under 5 bar of hydrogen. Conversion of the precursor was complete after 16 h. The enantiomeric excess of the product was 98%.
