Ruthenium and Rhodium Hydrides Containing Chiral Phosphine or Chiral Sulfoxide Ligands, and Catalytic Asymmetric Hydrogenation BRIAN R. JAMES, RODERICK S. MC MILLAN, ROBERT H. MORRIS, and DANIEL K. W. WANG Department of Chemistry, University of British Columbia, British Columbia, Canada V6T 1W5 The Ru(II) complexes Ru Cl (diop) , HRuCl(diop) , and RuCl (diop) , were synthesized and found to be effective in solution for catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation of some prochiral olefinic substrates. The systems, including some kinetic data, are compared with the related HRh(diop) -catalyzed systems; 2

(-)diop = 2R,3R-(-)-2,3-0-isopropylidene-2,3-dihydroxy-1,4bis(diphenylphosphino)butane. Two trimeric Ru(II) complexes, [RuCl L ] were made, where L is either the chiral sulfur-bonded R-(+)-methyl para-tolyl sulfoxide or (S,R;S,S)(+)-2-methylbutyl methyl sulfoxide; the latter functions as an asymmetric hydrogenation catalyst, but optical yields of only 15% were attained. There is evidence for hydride intermediates. Ru(II) catalysts containing (—)dios, the 2R,3R-bis-(methyl sulfinyl)butane analog of (—)diop, give optical yields up to 25% with excess enantiomer opposite to that obtained for the corresponding (-)diop system. The cationic rhodium complex [(norbornadiene)Rh(PPh )(dios)] is a precursor to an active hydrogenation catalyst, but no asymmetry has been observed in products. 2
