title: Modular monodentate phosphoramidite ligands for rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective hydrogenation.
abstract: A new class of monodentate phosphoramidite ligands (DpenPhos) has been developed on the basis of the modular concept for Rh(I)-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenations of a variety of olefin derivatives, affording the corresponding optically active compounds in excellent yields and enantioselectivities. The ligands have the advantages of facile preparation, tunable structure, and broad scope of substrates in their Rh(I) complex-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenations.
