Abstract
The outcome of the enantioselective hydrogenation of pyruvate esters using cinchona alkaloid-modified palladium catalysts is dependent on the choice of solvent/substituent; the sense of the enantioselectivity can be switched from S to R whilst maintaining the magnitude of the enantiomeric excess.

- Impurities in the pyruvate reactant can have an effect on both the rate and ee in these reactions. Ethyl pyruvate was therefore distilled daily. The same batch of ethyl pyruvate was used in the comparative study. Ethyl pyruvate supplied by Aldrich has been reported as suffering fewest problems in this regard. H.-U. Blaser, H. P. Jalett and F.
