Abstract
The research progress in enantioselective hydrogenation catalyzed by heterogeneous catalysts is reviewed. Two typical examples, asymmetric hydrogenation of α, β-ketoesters on nickel catalysts modified with tartaric acid derivatives and on platinum catalysts modified with cinchona alkaloids are introduced and discussed in detail. The prospect for enantioselective hydrogenation on heterogeneous catalysts is also proposed.
