Asymmetrically modified bimetallic catalyst for the enantio-differentiating hydrogenation of methyl acetoacetate
The effects of addition of a second metal as promoter to (R,R)-tartaric acid-NaBr-modified Ni catalyst were investigated. The addition of Pd increased the enantioselectivity for the hydrogenation of methyl acetoacetate.
