Asymmetric hydrogenation of maleic and fumaric acid derivatives with iridium catalysts based on N,P ligands provides an efficient route to chiral enantioenriched succinates. A new catalyst derived from a 2,6-difluorophenyl- substituted pyridine-phosphinite ligand was developed and enables the conversion of a wide range of 2-alkyl and 2-arylmaleic acid diesters into the corresponding succinates in high enantiomeric purity. Mixtures of cis/trans substrates can be hydrogenated in an enantioconvergent fashion with high enantioselectivity, and further enhances the scope of this transformation. The products are valuable chiral building blocks with a structural motif found in many bioactive compounds, such as metalloproteinase inhibitors. An attractive enantioselective route to 2-alkyl- and 2-aryl-substituted succinic acid derivatives is opened up by the asymmetric hydrogenation of maleic and fumaric acid derivatives, using the new catalyst [Ir(cod)L]BArF, derived from a 2,6-difluorophenyl-substituted pyridine-phosphinite ligand. The products are valuable chiral building blocks having a structural motif found in many bioactive compounds. cod=1,5-cyclooctadiene.

Terminal alkynes (including acetylene) undergo regioselective hydroesterification to unsaturated cis-diesters using PdCl2, CuCl2, HCl, alcohol, carbon monoxide, and oxygen; cis-monoesters are formed from internal alkynes.These reactions are complete within two hours at room temperature and atmospheric pressure.
