Rh/bifunctional bisphosphine-thiourea ligand (ZhaoPhos)-catalyzed asymmetric hydorgenation of both (Z)- and (E)-isomers of β-substituted-β-thio-α,β-unsaturated esters was successfully developed. This new asymmetric catalytic methodology provided highly efficient access to two enantiomers of chiral organic sulfides ethyl β-substituted-β-thio-propanoates with excellent results (up to 99% yield and >99%
