Significance

A polymeric BINAP–ruthenium complex (Ru/PCP-BINAP) was prepared by treatment of [RuCl2(PhH)]2 with the mesoporous cross-linked polymeric (R)-BINAP ligand 4. Ru/PCP-­BINAP catalyzed the asymmetric hydrogenation of β-keto esters under hydrogen (2 MPa) to give the corresponding β-hydroxy esters 7a–h in >99.5% conversion with 94.3–99.0% ee.

Comment

Ru/PCP-BINAP was readily recovered and reused six times without significant loss of its catalytic ability (1st reuse: >99.5% conversion, 94.3% ee, 6th reuse: >99.5% conversion, 95.3% ee).
