Aqueous enantioselective hydrogenation of methyl 2-acetamidoacrylate with Rh-MeDuPHOS occluded in PDMS

Chem Commun (Camb). 2002 Feb 21:(4):388-9. doi: 10.1039/b109234k.

Abstract

A new chiral heterogeneous catalytic system obtained by occlusion of the Rh-MeDuPHOS complex in a polydimethylsiloxane film was tested in the asymmetric hydrogenation of methyl 2-acetamidoacrylate in aqueous medium.
