The asymmetric hydrogenation of β‐ketophosphonates with chiral Ir/P,N,N‐ligands catalyst has been developed. A series of β‐ketophosphonates were hydrogenated, and the corresponding β‐hydroxyphosphonates were obtained in high yields with good or excellent enantioselectivities under mild condition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
