The chiral cationic rhodium aminophosphine-phosphinite complexes 4-6 were applied successfully in the asymmetric hydrogenation of α- (7-9), β- (10, 11) and γ- (12) aminoketone hydrochloride derivatives leading to the corresponding aminoalcohols in up to 97, 93, and 92 % enantiomeric excesses for the three types of substrates respectively.
