title: Ferrocenyl Ligands with Two Phosphanyl Substituents in the alpha,varepsilon positions for the Transition Metal Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Functionalized Double Bonds.
abstract: The choice of the substituents at the benzylic position of diphosphane 1 allows the selection of the absolute configuration of the product that is obtained from the transition metal catalyzed enantioselective hydrogenation of various beta-dicarbonyl compounds, alpha-acetamidocinnamic acid derivatives, and dimethyl itaconate (see scheme).
