5‐tricarbonyl substrates in the tested solvents. The C‐2 and C‐4 substituents had notable but irregular influence on the reactivity and enantioselectivity of the reactions. More pronounced solvent effects were observed: the ee values increased from around 20 % in EtOH or THF to 90 % in acetone. Inversion of the product configuration was observed when the solvent was changed from EtOH to THF or acetone
Synthesis of synthons: The asymmetric hydrogenation and subsequent in situ lactonization with Ru-diphosphines results in the direct conversion of a series of 2-acylarylcarboxylates including 2-aroylarylcarboxylates into the corresponding optically active 3-substituted phthalides under mild reaction conditions.

A highly chemo- and enantioselectivehydrogenation of β-diketones was achieved by using [Ru(benzene)(S)-SunPhosCl]Cl for consistency in THF. The neighboring heteroatoms played important roles in guaranteeing the reactivity and controlling the chemoselectivity. These results suggested a potential approach for the clean and facile synthesis of functionalized chiral β-hydroxy ketones, which could otherwise
