A highly efficient enantioselective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated nitriles catalyzed by Rh-(R,R)-f-spiroPhos complex has been developed. With Rh-(R,R)-f-spiroPhos catalyst and under mild conditions, a wide range of α,β-unsaturated nitriles including the (E)- and (Z)-isomers of 3-alkyl-3-aryl, 3,3-diaryl, and 3,3-dialkyl α,β-unsaturated nitriles were hydrogenated to the corresponding chiral nitriles with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99.9% ee) and high turnover numbers (TON up to 10,000).

An efficient and solely stereoselective synthesis of (E)-α- methylcinnamic acids has been accomplished in single pot by reduction of the unmodified Baylis-Hillman adducts, methyl-3-hydroxy-3-aryl-2- methylenepropanoates with I2/NaBH4 reagent system at room temperature followed by hydrolysis. The efficacy of this method has been proved in the total synthesis of 1-[p-(myristyloxy)-α-methylcinnamoyl]glycerol, LK-903, a highly active hypolipidemic agent.
