Rhodium(I)–sulfonated-bdpp catalysed asymmetric hydrogenation of imines in aqueous–organic two-phase solvent systems

Abstract
The imines ArC(Me)NCH2Ph (Ar = Ph, 2-MeO-C6H4, 3-MeO-C6H4, 4-MeO-C6H4) are hydrogenated to the corresponding amines with extremely high enantioselectivities up to 96% under very mild conditions, using rhodium complexes associated with sulfonated bdpp.
