Abstract
The asymmetric hydrogenation of methyl benzoylformate to R- (-) -methyl mandelate was studied using Pt-C catalysts modified with cinchonidine. High asymmetric selectivities (over 80% optical yield) were attained in the hydrogenation using some ethers, esters, or benzene as solvent.

Asymmetric heterogeneous catalysis.

TL;DR: This Review shows that highly ordered metal-organic catalysts that might allow a rational design, synthesis, and the unequivocal structural characterization to give tailor-made catalysts have more to them than facile separation or recycling.

Progress in asymmetric heterogeneous catalysis: Design of novel chirally modified platinum metal catalysts

TL;DR: Heterogeneous asymmetric catalysis on chirally modified supported platinum catalysts has undergone significant development recently based on the knowledge gained on the mechanism of the asymmetric hydrogenation of α-ketoesters, catalyzed by platinum modified with cinchona alkaloids.
