12. To the best of our knowledge, there are only two earlier reports of the use of complexes with a chiral monodentate ligand to metal ratio of 1:1 as catalysts in asymmetric hydrogenation. The ee values obtained were low to moderate: a) X. Jiang, A. J. Minnaard, B. Hessen, B. L. Feringa, A. L. L. Duchateau, J. G. O. Andrien, J. A. F. Boogers, J. G. de Vries, Org. Lett. 2003, 5, 1503;

32. A higher activity of the neutral complex with respect to the cationic one has also been reported for Ir/phosphonite catalysts in the hydrogenation of imines: A. Martorell, C. Claver, E. Fernandez, Inorg. Chem. Commun. 2000, 3, 132.
33. In all hydrogenation experiments the catalyst is formed in situ by simply mixing the Ir complex, the ligand, and the substrate prior to addition of the solvent. The results obtained with a preformed and isolated [Ir(cod)(Cl)L] catalyst are identical.
34. Phosphoramidites based on Biphen (3,3′-di-tert-butyl-5, 5′,6,6′-tetramethyl-1,1′-biphenyl-2,2′-diol) have already been prepared and used successfully in asymmetric hydroformylation: Z. Hua, V. C. Vassar, H. Choi, I. Ojima, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 2004, 101, 5411.
