Dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of racemic aryl α-amino β-ketoesters via Ru-diphosphine-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation was realized at 70 °C under 50 atm of hydrogen, affording syn α-amido β-hydroxy esters in high yields (up to 96%) with high reactivity (TON up to 940) and diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to 99:1 dr, 98% ee). These hydrogenation products provide valuable chiral synthons in many natural products and pharmaceuticals. Gram-scale DKR asymmetric hydrogenation (DKR-AH) was also performed with retained reactivity and stereoselectivity, revealing the synthetic utility of this method.
