Significance
Self-assembling phosphanyl-pyridone ligands have been used in several hydrogenation reactions. Difficulties obtaining both good yields and selectivities are still present. In this report, those difficulties are eliminated by use of fluorinated alcohols which enable formation of hydrogen bonding between ligand molecules - the key feature responsible for the stereoselective outcome of the reaction.
