A new chiral polymer–metal complex, methylsulfo–sodium carboxymethyl–cellulose–Pt complex (MS‐NaCMC‐Pt), has been prepared by the reaction of sodium carboxymethylcellulose with methylsulfonyl chloride and H 2 PtCl 6 ·6H 2 , which was found to be able to catalyze the asymmetric hydrogenation of salicyl alcohol to give (1S,2S)‐2‐(hydroxymethyl)‐cyclohexanol at 28 °C and under 1 atm H 2 , in > 90% product and optical yields, respectively. The catalyst could be reused many times without any remarkable changes in optical catalytic activity. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
