Abstract

The Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of prochiral β- N-acetylamino-vinylphosphonates allows the preparation of chiral β- N-acetylamino-phosphonates with excellent yields (up to 100%) and high enantioselectivities (up to 92% ee). The reaction is strongly dependent on the chiral bidentate phosphorus ligand and the solvent employed. In several cases an inversion of the induced chirality was noted by using the corresponding E- or Z-isomeric substrates.
