Effect <strong>of</strong> ligand and solvent on the hydrogenation <strong>of</strong> 1 mmole <strong>of</strong> 6 using 10μmole <strong>of</strong> Ru(ligand)(S,S)-DPEN at 50°C and 60 psig with 0.25 mmole <strong>of</strong> KO-tBu.Ligand MeOH/i-PrOH ee (%) r (mmol/min) Conv.

Theoptimized reaction conditions were found to be the use <strong>of</strong> Ru(Xyl-Phanephos)modified with DPEN as the catalyst and running the reaction in a methanol solutionat 30°C and 60 psig <strong>of</strong> hydrogen in the presence <strong>of</strong> potassium t-butoxide. Asubstrate:catalyst ratio <strong>of</strong> 2500 was routinely used giving the succinimido alcohol, 7,in >98% yield with an ee <strong>of</strong> > 99%. Increasing the hydrogen pressure to 200 psigsignificantly reduced the reaction time while still maintaining these same ee andconversion values. Hydrogenation <strong>of</strong> 6 using dichloro [(R)-Xylylphanephos][1S,2S-DPEN]ruthenium(II) gave the S enantiomer <strong>of</strong> 7 with 99% ee at100% conversion. Using (S)-xylyl phanephos and (1R,2R)-DPEN resulted in theformation <strong>of</strong> the R enantiomer <strong>of</strong> 7, again with 99% ee at 100% conversion.Table 2.
