(Figure Presented) Shapeshifting: The sense of enantioselection in the asymmetric hydrogenation of activated ketones over modified platinum depends on the cinchona-alkaloid modifier (for example, O-phenylcinchonidine; see picture). Spectroscopic and theoretical studies reveal that the chiral space is reshaped through a change in the conformation of the modifier.
