Abstract

Catalyzed by a rhodium complex of P-stereogenic diphosphine trichickenfootphos, five-membered cyclic α-dehydroamino ketones bearing endocyclic acyl and endocyclic vinyl groups were hydrogenated to give chiral α-amino ketones with quantitative conversions and excellent enantioselectivities.
