A new heterogeneous catalytic system is described incorporating the BINAP structure as coordinating agent. In the presence of chiral diamines as auxiliaries, this ligand is efficient for the ruthenium catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of acetophenone (e.e. 68%) and can be reused several times without loss of selectivity and activity. The best e.e. (96%) is obtained for the reduction of 1′-acetonaphthone.
