Quantification of rate acceleration in asymmetric catalytic hydrogenation
A quantitative model is advanced for asymmetric catalytic hydrogenation allowing estimation of the ratio between the rate constants in the absence and presence of the modifier. Comparison between the model and experimental data for 1,2-phenyl-propanedione is given. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
