Abstract

The present invention relates to a process of the asymmetric hydrogenation of a ketal of an unsaturated ketone or an acetal of an unsaturated aldehyde by molecular hydrogen in the presence of at least one chiral iridium complex. This process yields chiral compounds in a very efficient way and is very advantageous in that the amount of iridium complex can be remarkably reduced.
