Asymmetric hydrogenation using ferrocenylphosphine rhodium(I) cationic complexes - Cullen, W.R.; Yeh, E.-S. (Elsevier)
High optical yields are obtained in the hydrogenation of α-acetamidocinnamic acid using [(COD)Rh((+)PPFA)]ClO"4 and related complexes as catalysts. (+)PPFA is (S)-α-[(R)-2-diphenylphosphinoferrocenyl] ethyldimethylamine.
