Asymmetric hydrogenation of α-alkyl-substituted β-keto esters and amides with the DIPSkewphos/3-AMIQ–Ru(II) catalyst system through dynamic kineticresolution was examined. A series of β-keto esters and amides with a simple or functionalized α-alkyl group were applicable to this reaction, affording the α-substituted β-hydroxyesters and amides in ≥99% ee (anti/syn ≥ 99:1) in many cases.
