Bench-Stable Rh/Chiraphos Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation Reaction of Citral and Its Mechanistic Studies

Abstract Although the Rh/chiraphos-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of citral is a main industrial route to produce important chiral fragrance monomer l-menthol, this process still suffers from facile deactivation, strong substrate configuration dependence, and sub-optimal enan...
