43. It should be noted that the remarkable results reported by Gridnev and Imamoto were mainly achieved at very low temperatures, which are in general not usual for enantioselective hydrogenations. Therefore, a change of the mechanism at room temperature and under normal pressure cannot be ruled out. This is also recognized by the authors: "On the other hand, nothing speaks against the possibility of a direct hydrogenation of [the substrate complex]."; ref. [18b]).

46. 2 uptake for 5.0 mmol substrate (depicted in Figure 3) is so fast that especially in the initial stage, influence of diffusion cannot be excluded.
47. This effect is interpreted by the assumption that intermolecular exchange between diastereomeric substrate-catalyst complexes is "frozen" with decreasing temperature, which can be confirmed by comparison of relevant activation values for the oxidative addition of hydrogen and the retro conversion of the catalyst-substrate complexes into the starting compounds. These effects cause a disturbance in the additional delivery of the more reactive minor complex.

54. For -1 no pressure dependence of the %ee could be observed at 25°C; however the generality of this for other temperatures is doubtful.

56. Our principle for the measurement for the quantitative investigation of the hydrogenation is based on the recording of the diminution of the volume of the closed reaction system under thermostatted conditions. The atmospheric pressure served as a reference.
