under mild reaction conditions. The modular nature of the ligands allows fine-tuning of the selectivities through judicious modifications of the substituents on the ligand backbone. X-ray structural analysis of the catalyst precursor suggested that the steric hindrance caused by the protruding remote substituents of the ligands into the vicinity of the metal center might be an important factor for

A new class of monodentate phosphoramidite ligands (DpenPhos) has been developed on the basis of the modular concept for Rh(I)-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenations of a variety of olefin derivatives, affording the corresponding optically active compounds in excellent yields and enantioselectivities. The ligands have the advantages of facile preparation, tunable structure, and broad scope of substrates

generation of monodentate phosphoramidite ligands bearing a primary amine moiety was found to display comparable or better efficiency than bisphosphines in the Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of challenging substrates, such as (Z)-methyl alpha-acetoxyacrylate or (E)-beta-aryl itaconate derivatives, affording the corresponding hydrogenation products with excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99%
