Abstract
A new 'CO 2 -philic' chiral rhodium diphosphinite complex was synthesized and applied as catalyst precursor in the asymmetric hydrogenation of dimethyl itaconate in scCO 2 , scC 2 H 6 and various liquid organic solvents. Deuterium labeling studies and parahydrogen-induced polarization (PHIP) NMR experiments were used to provide the first detailed mechanistic insight into the activation and transfer of the dihydrogen molecule during hydrogenation in scCO 2 . Chemical interactions between CO 2 and reactive intermediates of the catalytic pathway could be excluded as possible explanations for the experimentally verified difference in the catalytic behavior in scCO 2 and hexane.
