This paper aims at developing a highly enantioselective ruthenium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of enamine ester to synthesize the chiral intermediate of sitagliptin. Through a comprehensive investigation of ruthenium catalyst precursors, chiral ligands, acids and ammonium salts as additives, temperature, pressure, and solvent, (R)-3-amino-4-(2,4,5- trifluorophenyl) isopropyl butyrate, the key intermediate of sitagliptin, was obtained in 97% yield and 99% ee by asymmetric hydrogenation from β-2,4,5-trifluorophenyl-β-enamine ester under the action of Ru-BIBOP catalyst, with p-toluenesulfonic acid and ammonium p-toluenesulfonate as additives, and dichloromethane/methanol as solvent, under 50 atm of hydrogen pressure and 60 ℃ for 22 hours. The use of Ru-BIBOP catalyst plays a key role in achieving high enantioselectivity for this transformation.
