Under the experimental conditions of the Orito reaction the individual hydrogenation and the competitive hydrogenations of three binary mixtures of methyl benzoylformate (MBF), pyruvic aldehyde dimethyl acetal (PA) and 2,2-diethoxyacetophenone (DAP) on platinum-alumina catalysts modified by cinchonidine, cinchonine, quinine and quinidine (Pt-CD, Pt-CN, Pt-QN, Pt-QD) were studied for the first time using continuous-flow fixed-bed reactor system. Conversions of chiral (C-c) and racemic (C-r) hydrogenations of all three compounds and enantioselectivities (ee) were determined under the same experimental conditions (under 4 MPa H-2 pressure, at room temperature using toluene/AcOH 9/1 as solvent).The order of the rates of the enantioselective hydrogenations of the three substrates studied is MBF > PA > DAP, and the order of their ee values is MBF similar to PA > DAP. The hydrogenation rate and the effect of rate on ee depend on the structure of the cinchona used: hydrogenation of MBF and PA may produce ee values over 90 %, however, the ee values were conspicuously low in the presence of Pt-QN and especially of Pt-QD catalysts. In the chiral hydrogenation of DAP considering racemic hydrogenation rate decrease (C-c/C-r < 1) takes place instead of rate enhancement over all four catalysts. The new experimental data supported the so far known fundamental rules of the Orito reaction based on batch studies.
