title: Catechol-based phosphoramidites: a new class of chiral ligands for rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenations.
abstract: [reaction: see text] The synthesis and application of a new class of catechol-based phosphoramidites is described. Ees up to 99% were obtained in the rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of dehydroamino acids and enamides.
