The rhodium(I)-1,2-bis[(o-tert-butoxyphenyl)(phenyl)phosphino]ethane} [Rh(I)-(t-Bu-SMS-Phos)] catalyst system displayed prime efficiency in the hydrogenation of large series of α-amidostyrenes and α-amidoacrylates. Up to >99.9% enantiomeric excesses coupled with very high reaction rates were attained operating routinely under 1–10 bar of hydrogen at 22 °C in methanol. Examples include industrial substrates
“R-SMS-Phos” R-SMS-Phos = 1,2-bis[(o-RO-phenyl)(phenyl)phosphino]ethane} ligands wherein R = branched or heteroatom-substituted alkyl, aralkyl, silyl, acyl, sulfonyl, etc. was screened for the Rh(I)-catalyzed hydrogenation of a representative set of olefinic substrates. This systematic and detailed investigation revealed a marked beneficial impact on enantioselectivity and catalyst activity in comparison
