title: Highly enantioselective hydrogenation of enol acetates catalyzed by Ru-TunaPhos complexes.
abstract: [reaction: see text] The chiral disphosphines with tunable dihedral angles (TunaPhos) have been used for asymmetric hydrogenation of enol acetates and dihedral-angle-dependent enantioselectivities were observed. C2-TunaPhos has been proved to be effective for Ru-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of electron-deficient and other enol acetates.
