- 21 A recent report (A. Marinetti, S. Jus, J.-P. Genêt, Tetrahedron Lett. 1999, 40, 8365) has hypothesized that enamide hydrogenation catalysts containing electron-rich bisphosphetane ligands proceed by preferential reaction of the major diastereomer with H2. However, simple comparison of the quadrant diagram of Marinetti et al. with our results and previous mechanistic work makes it virtually certain that the authors have incorrectly assigned the stereochemistry of the minor diastereomer to that of the major diastereomer. The origin of the interesting H2 pressure effects observed by Marinetti et al. is unclear.
