A new electron-donating diphosphine (R)-MeO-P-Phos [(R)-2,2’,6,6’-tetramethoxy-4,4’- bis[di(4-meth- oxylphenyl)phosphino]-3,3’-bipyridine] has been synthesized and its application to the asymmetric hydrogenation of β-keto esters catalyzed by ruthenium complex was explored. Solvent effect was tested and up to 99.1% ee was achieved for the hydrogenation of ethyl acetoacetate in EtOH. The asymmetric hydrogenation of various β-keto esters catalyzed by Ru-MeO-P-Phos was investigated.

Key words: β-keto ester, asymmetric hydrogenation, chiral diphosphine, enantioselectivity
