✦ Synopsis
Asymmetric hydrogenation of ketopantolactone was studied on a 5 wt% Pt/Al 2 O 3 catalyst in the presence of cinchonidine and its O-methyl, -ethyl, -phenyl and -trimethylsilyl derivatives. Inversion of enantioselectivity with the latter two bulky substituents proved that in the enantiodifferentiating step cinchonidine adsorbs via the quinoline ring lying approximately parallel to the Pt surface. The striking nonlinear effect observed with cinchonidine-O-phenyl-cinchonidine mixtures is attributed to differences in the adsorption strength and geometry of the modifiers.
