Chiral N,N'-dialkylated cyclohexanediamine derived ligands have been synthesized and used in the asymmetric hydrogenation of aryl ketones.Optically active alcohols with up to 90%enantiomeric excess were obtained in high yields.

In this paper,a series of optically active MeO-BIPHEP-type ligands,(S)-6,6′-dimethoxy-2,2’-bis(di-p-alkoxyphenylphosphine)- 1,1′-biphenyl were synthesized and used to prepare the ruthenium complex.The effects of para-substituted were observed,the results showed that the ruthenium catalysts[diphosphine RuCl;diamine]containing both t-Bu and i-Pr substitutions have better activities and enantioselectivities than the non-substituted ruthenium catalysts in the asymmetric hydrogenation of acetophenone.
