Reaction Steps

With exclusion of oxygen and moisture, an ampule was charged with 100 mg of methyl 2-benzoylamino-3-diphenylaminoacrylate (0.255 mmol) and 1.9 mg (0.0026 mmol, 0.01 equivalent) of [(S,S)-Et-FerroTANE-Rh]BF4. After purging with argon, 5 ml of oxygen-free methanol were added. The ampule was sealed gas-tight and hydrogenated in an autoclave at 20 bar of hydrogen pressure for 24 h. The autoclave was decompressed and purged with nitrogen. The conversion of the hydrogenation was determined by HPLC. The enantioselectivity was determined by HPLC on chiral phase by the method described in Example 4. The [(R,R)-Et-FerroTANE-Rh]BF4 catalyst afforded the corresponding R derivative in the same yield and enantiomeric purity.
