Abstract

A number of isomerically related bis-aminophosphine (PNNP) rhodium complexes have been prepared and tested as catalysts in the asymmetric hydrogenation of olefins. The results obtained suggest a direct relationship between the structure of the chiral environment of the catalyst centre and the enantiomeric composition of the hydrogenation products.
