We have demonstrated that electrochemical reduction of C2-symmetric rhodium complexes in the presence of prochiral substrates and a proton source affords asymmetric hydrogenation of the substrate in good chemical and optical yields. In this presentation we will report on our recent studies designed to better understand the details of the reaction process.
