Role model : Electrostatic NH eq /π attraction plays an important role in asymmetric hydrogenation of acetophenones catalyzed by chiral [RuX 2 (diphosphine)(1,2‐diamine)] complexes. The relative rate of p ‐substituted ketones bears a Hammett linear relationship with ρ =1.03 but with a notable exception for the p ‐fluoro ketone. The enantioselectivity is enhanced by an electron‐donating p substituent and is decreased by an electron donor.
