The enantioselective hydrogenation of ketopantolactone (KPL) on Pt-alumina catalyst modified by ¦Â-isocinchonine (¦Â-ICN) and O-phenylcinchonidine (PhOCD) in toluene, acetic acid and their mixtures under otherwise identical experimental conditions was studied. Reversal of the enantioselection was obtained dependent on the concentration of acetic acid (eemax = 17 % (S) on Pt-PhOCD and 50 % (R) on Pt-¦Â-ICN, respectively). The possible role in enantioselection of adducts forming in the reaction mixture and the stability of PhOCD under the conditions of the hydrogenation was investigated by ESI-MS. The results of the nonlinear phenomenon measurements on ¦Â-ICN + PhOCD mixtures suggest that the intermediate surface complexes ¦Â-ICN-KPL and PhOCD-KPL responsible for the opposite enantioselection include different types of interactions and the enantioselection is directed by the competition between these interactions.
