The control of stereochemistry in catalytic hydrogenation re-actions has been a desirable but elusive goal. In many instances, the stereochemical result cannot even be anticipated unless ex-tremely close analogy is available. We have been interested for a number of years in finding means to remedy thissituation in the hope that some form of attraction to a preexisting, easily introduced center might lead to the desired stereochemical control. The hydroxyl group has often served well in directing reactions other than hydrogenation (peroxy acid oxidations, Simmons-Smith cyclopropanation, etc.) but only scattered reports1 have appeared that suggest the possibility of this type of stereocontrol in a hydrogenation reaction. In any event, none of these isolated observations have led to a generally useful or predictable solution to the problem. After some unsuccessful experiments with Wilkinson’s rhodium catalyst, 2 we turned to the iridium catalyst Ir (cod) py (PCy3) PF63· 4 introduced by Crabtree et al. 5 because it has two sites that would be available for coordination with a bidentate substrate andbecause its ability to reduce trisubstituted double bonds made possible the study of a considerable range of structural types. The report6 that'alcohols deactivate this catalyst was somewhat disturbing but did suggest that the alcohol function might be a very effective ligand.
