Abstract
The enantioselective hydrogenation of α-methylene-1,3-dioxolan-2-ones catalyzed by chiral (diphosphine)ruthenium complexes leads to optically active cyclic carbonates with high enantioselectivities. Their hydrolysis in methanol in the presence of potassium carbonate quantitatively affords optically active 1,2-diols.
