Abstract
Optically active 1-benzyl-3,4-bis-(diphenylphosphino)-pyrrolidine is produced in a three-step process from optically active 1-benzyl-2,5-dioxo-3,4-dihydroxy-pyrrolidine. The product is useful as a chiral ligand in rhodium complexes which serve as catalysts for the homogeneous asymmetric hydrogenation of prochiral substrates.
