He shoots, he scores ! Efficient rhodium(III) catalysts for the asymmetric hydrogenation of simple olefins without any directing groups are described by K. Mashima et al. in their Communication on page 8299 ff. Chloride‐bridged dinuclear rhodium(III) complexes bearing chiral diphosphine ligands offer targeted asymmetric hydrogenation of ( E )‐propene‐1,2‐diyldibenzene and its derivatives, as well as allylic alcohols, alkenylboranes, and unsaturated cyclic sulfones.
