A series of BoPhoz-type phosphine-aminophosphine ligands were employed in the Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of β-(acylamino)acrylates. The results indicated that the structure of BoPhoz-type ligands has a significant influence on this hydrogenation, and ligand 3c bearing bis [ ( 3, 5-difluoro) phenyl ] phosphinoamino moiety and bis [ (3, 5-dimethyl)phenyl ]- phosphino moiety showed the best enantioselectivity. Under the optimal conditions, a variety of β- (acylamino) acrylates were h...
