title: Enantioselective Rh-catalyzed hydrogenation of vinyl carboxylates with monodentate phosphite ligands.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Alkyl-substituted vinylcarboxylates, which normally show poor enantioselectivity in Rh-catalyzed hydrogenation with traditional chiral diphosphines, undergo highly enantioselective reactions with BINOL- and carbohydrate-based monophosphite ligands.
