title: Rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective hydrogenation of β-acylamino nitroolefins: a new approach to chiral β-amino nitroalkanes.
abstract: An efficient and highly enantioselective catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation of β-acylamino nitroolefins has been realized by using Rh-TangPhos as the catalyst. A series of β-amino nitroalkane products, which are versatile intermediates in organic synthesis, were obtained with high yield and good enantioselectivity.
