Abstract

1. In situ 1H NMR spectroscopy and using parahydrogen (p-H 2) allows to characterize the stereochemistry of suitable hydrogenation reactions instantaneously. 2. The rhodium(I)-catalyzed homogeneous hydrogenation of the unsaturated racemic alcohols ( R,S)-2-(1-hydroxy-ethyl)-acrylic acid methyl ester ( I) and ( R,S)-2-methoxy-1-phenyl-buta-2,3-dien-1-ol ( II) leads to the formation of different diastereomeric products which can be distinguished unambiguously due to their characteristic polarization multiplets.
