A solution of (E)-2-[2-(teri-butoxy)-2-oxoethyl]-5-cyclohexyl-2-pentenoic acid (0.74 g, 2.5 mmol) and 1,1′-bis[(2S,4S)-2,4-diethylphosphetano]ferrocene-(1,5-cyclooctadiene)-rhodium (I) tetrafluoroborate (18 mg, 25 μmol) in methanol (2.5 ml) was stirred at 20-25° C. for 24 hours, under hydrogen (4 atmospheres, 60 p.s.i.). The mixture was then concentrated in vacuo to leave the title compound as a yellow oil (0.74 g, 98% conversion, enantiomeric excess=95%, 95% pure by NMR).
