FUNCTIONALIZED FERROCENYLDIPHOSPHINES, A PROCESS FOR THEIR PREPARATION AND THEIR USE

Abstract: The invention relates to 1,2-ferrocenyldiphosphines which contain a functional group in the 1' position either directly or via a bridging group, and also a process for their preparation. The compounds are important ligands for transition metal complexes containing d-8 metals such as Rh, Ru, Pd or Ir. These transition metal complexes are widely used in the hydrogenation of organic double or triple bonds, in particular olefinic double bonds and carbon-heteroatom double bonds. The complexes are particularly suitable for enantioselective hydrogenation using chiral ferrocenyldiphosphines and corresponding prochiral unsaturated compounds. Ferrocenyldiphosphines having a functional group in the 1' position are also important intermediates for ferrocenyldiphosphine ligands and their metal complexes of d-8 metals such as rhodium, ruthenium, palladium or iridium which are bound to inorganic or organic polymeric supports via this functional group. These metal complexes bound to an inorganic or organic support material are likewise very suitable for the hydrogenation of organic double or triple bonds.

Description: Functionalized ferrocenyldiphosphines. a process for their preparation and their use The invention relates to 1 ,2-ferrocenyldiphosphines which contain a functional group in the V position either directly or via a bridging group, and also a process for their preparation. The compounds are important ligands for transition metal complexes containing d-8 metals such as Rh, Ru, Pd or Ir. These transition metal complexes are widely used in the hydrogenation of organic double or triple bonds, in particular olefinic double bonds and carbon-heteroatom double bonds. The complexes are particularly suitable for enantioselective hydrogenation using chiral ferrocenyldiphosphines and corresponding prochiral unsaturated compounds. Ferrocenyldiphosphines having a functional group in the 1' position are also important intermediates for ferrocenyldiphosphine ligands and their metal complexes of d-8 metals such as rhodium, ruthenium, palladium or iridium which are bound to inorganic or organic polymeric supports via this functional group. These metal complexes bound to an inorganic or organic support material are likewise very suitable for the hydrogenation of organic double or triple bonds. The invention further provides extractable or adsorbable ferrocenyldiphosphines and ferrocenyldiphosphines having an adjusted solubility and catalysts comprising these ferrocenyldiphosphines, and also a process for preparing the compounds mentioned. These are either ferrocenyldiphosphines containing a functional group in the 1 ' position or ferrocenyldiphosphines derived therefrom. EP-A-0-496 699 and EP-A-0 496 700 describe dioxolane- and pyrrolidine-diphosphines containing silane groups and also their rhodium or iridium complexes which are fixed to an inorganic support material, for example a silicate. In a hydrogenation, these give a heterogeneous reaction mixture from which the inorganically fixed catalyst can easily be separated after the reaction is complete. Monophospines or diphosphmes bound to polymers have likewise become known. They can be fixed in two fundamentally different ways: a) by copolymerization of diphosphmes bound to appropriate monomers and b) by reaction of functionalized diphosphines with previously formed, functional polymers, either directly or via an additional bridging group. Thus, for example, K. Achiwa in J. Che . Japan Soc, Chemistry Letters, pages 905 to 908 (1978) describes polystyrene copolymers whose benzene rings contain rhodium-complexed pyrrolidine-diphosphine-N-carbonyl groups. The synthesis of the monomers is difficult and the hydrogenation of prochiral olefins using these heterogeneous catalysts is, compared with catalysts not bound to polymer, associated with a lowering of the activity, the productivity and the enantioseiectivity. The pyrrolidine-diphosphine ligands are fixed via a para-amide bond directly to the benzene ring of the styrene which forms part of the copolymer while the other part of the copolymer framework is formed by hydroxyethyl methacrylate. in J of Organometaliic Chemistry, 333 (1987), 269-280 ,W. R. Cullen et. al. describe ferrocene derivatives such as N,N-dimethyl-1-(2-dιphenylphosphinoferrocenyl)ethylamιne which is bound directly to an oxidized polystyrene group. In the procedure proposed there, a maximum of 20% of the ferrocene derivative used is bound to the polymeric support and the ferrocenyl ligand is unspecifically and unseiectiveiy, partly via one or the other cyclopentadienyl ring to the polymer. Ferrocenes which are substituted by 2 phosphine groups only on one cyclopentadienyl ring have been known for a relatively long time. Their preparation and use as ligands in metal complexes for stereoselectivite hydrogenations is described, for example, in EP-A-564 406. Recently, A Togni in Chimia 50, (1996), 86-93 published the compound (A1 ) NH, which appears to be able to be prepared in a complicated synthesis which builds up the cyclopentadienyl rings. The method of preparation is analogous to the process described in Organometallics 1994, 13, 4481-4493. It has now been found that ferrocenyldiphosphines which contain a functional group bound either directly or via a bridging group to only one cyclopentadienyl ring can be prepared in a simple way and can be immobilized on both inorganic and organic polymeric support materials, and can also be used as extractable and or adsorbable gands catalysts. They can be bound to a previously prepared polymer either directly or via a bridging group or they can be immobilized after introduction of a polymerizable group by copolymerization of the monomers thus obtained. With d B metals such as rhodium, ruthenium, palladium and iridium, the immobilized ferrocenyldiphosphine ligands form complexes which can be used as highly active catalysts in enantioselective hydrogenations of carbon-carbon, carbon- nitrogen or carbon-oxygen double bonds. The selectivity and the total yield are surprisingly high for immobilized systems. In particular for imine hydrogenation, the iridium catalysts are particularly well suited since they have the clearly highest activity and the highest catalyst productivity in comparison with other immobilized systems. Their selectivity is likewise very good. The catalysts can easily be separated from the reaction solution and be reused. Virtually no metal and ligand losses occur. These immobilized catalysts therefore allow, in particular, industrial-scale hydrogenations to be carried out economically. The reaction to be catalysed can, for example in the case of ferrocenyldiphosphine ligands bound to a polymer, even be carried out heterogeneously or homogeneously depending on the choice of the polymer. The polymer can be prepared or even subsequently specifically modified such that the catalyst bound to the polymer dissolves in the reaction medium, can easily be separated off after the reaction by filtration, ultrafiltration, extraction or adsorbtion to support materials and can then be reused. The catalysts can be reused a number of times. Selection of the polymer enables the catalyst to be matched optimally to the reaction medium during the hydrogenation step and then be completely separated off, which is particularly important for hydrogenations carried out on an industrial scale. In all cases, the recovery of the noble metals present when the catalyst has to be replaced after frequent recycling is made easier. It is frequently also possible to omit further purification of the hydrogenated product since the catalyst can be removed virtually quantitatively. The preparation of these immobilized or extractable and/or adsorbable ferrocenyldiphosphines has been made possible for the first time by the provision of appropriately functionalized ferrocenyldiphosphines. These intermediates and their preparation are therefore of great importance.

For example, it is also possible to carry out a chain extension of the functional group and/or bind a polymeπzable group to it by known methods. Known methods are, for example, etheπfication, esteπfication, amidation and formation of urea or urethane groups. Methods of deπvatizing functional groups are known from textbooks on organic chemistry (E. Breitmaier, Gunther Jung; Organische Chemie II (1983); Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart, New York pp. 342. 409ff). Examples of directly C-bonded functional groups are the carboxylic acid, carboxylate, carboxy c ester, carboxamide, cyano, immo, aldehyde or ketone group. Preference is given to the aldehyde or ketone group. Examples of functional groups bound to a carbon atom of a bridging group are the abovementioned groups plus the amine, alcohol, isocyanate, halogen or glycidyl group. The functional group can also be a polymeπzable group and in this case is preferably a vinyl group which is unsubstituted or substituted by d-C 4 alkyl. It can, for example, be bonded to the bridging group via an amide or ester group. The polymerizable group can be derived from ethylenically unsaturated alcohols, amines and isocyanates such as allyl alcohol, allylamine, allyl isocyanate, crotyl alcohol; monoesters or monoamides of dicarboxylic acids and unsaturated alcohols and amines; functional styrenes such as chtoromethylstyrene, hydroxystyrene, hydroxyethoxystyrene, styrylamine, styryl(hydroxyethyl)amine, styrenecarboxylic acid, styrenesulfonic acid, vinyl hydroxyethyl ether, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, acrylamide and methacrylamide, acryl- and methacryl-(C 2 -C 6 hydroxyalkyl)amide, C 2 -C 6 hydroxyalkyl acrylate and methacrylate. The functional group bound via a carbon atom of a bridging group B is preferably an a ine group, alcohol group or a polymerizable group. Linkages via these functional groups can be carried out by generally known methods. It is in principle also possible to convert existing functional groups into other functional groups, for example -CH 2 OH-groups into carboxylic acids by oxidation, carboxylic acids into amides or halides, amine groups into isocyanate groups, alcohols or amines into carbonates or urethanes It is also possible to react alcohols or amines first with halogenated carboxylic acids (for example chloroacetic acid). It is also possible to use chain extenders such as epoxtdes, aziridines, dioles, diamines, dicarboxylic acids or esters and diisocyanates, either singly or a plurality thereof in succession, and thus determine the length of the extension group in a defined manner. These methods and processes for linkage are known and described in the specialist literature. When the functional group FU is (O)C-H, (O)C-(d-C 12 )alkyl, COOH or COO(d-C 6 )alkyl, this group can also be converted into another functional group by reduction, transesterification or other known standard reactions of organic chemistry. Thus, for example, the aldehyde group can easily be converted into an amine group by reaction with an amine and subsequent hydrogenation. It is likewise possible to reduce it to the alcohol using, for example, LiAIH 4 . An OH, NH 2 or NH(Cι-Cι 2 alkyl) functional group can also be converted into an oxyalkylsilyl group by reaction with a compound of the formula IX (R 1β ) n (R 15 0) 3 - n Si-Rι 4 -NCO (IX) where R, 4 is d-C 12 alkylene, R 15 is d-C^alkyl, R 16 is d-dalkyl and n is 0, 1 or 2.

However, only this method enables a series of valuable intermediates for ferrocenyldiphosphines and their metal complexes to be prepared. In this way it is also possible to obtain, in very good yields, ferrocenyldiphosphines which are functionalized on only one cyclopentadienyl radical and which can be bound selectively via these functional groups to inorganic or organic support materials. The invention further provides compounds of the formula I (I), in which R ! is Cι-C θ alkyl, phenyl or phenyl substituted by from 1 to 3 d-C 4 alkyl or d-dalkoxy; R 2 and R 3 are, independently of one another, hydrogen, Cι-d 2 alkyl or Cs-C^cycloalkyl, OH- or NH 2 -substituted Cι-Cι 2 alkyl or together a cyclic C 2 -C 8 alkylene group; and R 10 , R,,, B and FU are as defined and preferred above. Alkyl radicals R 2 and R 3 can be linear or branched; examples of d-C 8 alkyl are mentioned above and to these may be added the various isomers of nonyl, decyl, undecyl and dodecyl. R 2 and R 3 can also be bound to one another and form a cyclic alkyl group. Examples are pyrrolidine and piperidine. R 2 and R 3 are preferably, independently of one another, hydrogen, methyl, ethyl or propyl, hydroxypropyl, aminopropyl or together pentylene, particularly preferably simultaneously methyl. The compounds of the formula I are prepared starting from compounds of the formula II in which the radicals Ri, R 2 and R 3 are as defined and preferred above and Hal is halogen, preferably F, Cl, Br or I. The compounds of the formula II can here be prepared by analogous methods in a manner known per se, as is described, for example, by R. F. Kovar et al., Organometal. Chem. Syn., 1 (1970/1971 ) 173-181 for the reaction of dilithiated compounds with haiogenating agents or by T. Hayashi et at. Bull Chem. Soc. Jpn., 53 (1980) 1138-1151 for stereoselective lithiation. In this preparation, the ferrocene compound in an inert organic solvent is first allowed to react with one equivalent of alkyllithium and subsequently in the presence of an amine complexing agent for Li with a second equivalent of alkyllithium and is subsequently reacted with a haiogenating agent. An example of an amine complexing agent for Li is N,N,N,N-tetramethylethylenedιamιne. In the context of the present invention, alkyllithium is preferably t-butyllithium, sec-butyllithium or n-butyllithium. Haiogenating agents are known from the general prior art for many reactions. By way of example, some are also mentioned in Gmelin, Handbuch der Anorganischen Chemie, Eisen-Organische Verbindungen, Part A, Ferrocene 7, eighth edition, Springer Verlag 1980, pages128-136. The haiogenating agent is preferably selected from the group consisting of Cl 2 , hexachloroethane, 1 ,2-dichlorotetrafluoroethane, toluene-4-sulfonyl chloride, Br 2 , 1 ,2- dibrorπotetrachloroethane, 1 ,2-dibromotetrafluoroethane, toluene-4-sulfonyl bromide, 2,3- dιmethyl-2,3-dibromobutane, l 2 , 1 ,2-diiodotetrafluoroethane, perfluoropropyl iodide, perfluoroethyl iodide, toluene-4-sulfonyl iodide or perfluoromethyl iodide. The compounds of the formula II can, in a next step in an inert organic solvent, be treated with alkyllithium and activated for the next reaction. Subsequently, an organic solution of a compound of the formula III CIP(RιoRn) (III) can be added and the mixture allowed to react further to give a compound of the formula V (V), in which Ri. R 2 , Rio. R11 and Hal are as defined and preferred above. The replacement of the halogen atom surprisingly proceeds virtually exclusively on the cyclopentadienyl ring which bears the second substituent (alkylamine). This process therefore enables unsymmetnc ferrocenes to be obtained regioselectively in good yield, which is of great importance from the point of view of industrial production. The compound of the formula 111 is preferably added at a temperature of from -90 to +20°C. The invention further provides a process for preparing a compound of the formula I, which comprises a) reacting a compound of the formula V with alkyllithium, b) subsequently either b1 ) allowing the product to react with a C-electrophilic compound which forms a functional group FU or b2) allowing the product to react with an electrophilic compound which forms a C- or Si-bonded bridge B and a functional group FU and c) if desired, converting the functional group FU into another functional group, where the radicals Rι, R 2 , R 3 , R 10 and R„ are as defined and preferred above; and aa) B is a direct bond and FU is a functional group bound via a carbon atom to the cyclopentadienyl; or bb) B is a bridging group bound via a carbon atom or a silicon atom to the cyclopentadienyl and FU is a functional group. The reaction steps a) and b) are preferably carried out in an inert aprotic solvent at a temperature of from -90° to + 30° C. Examples of aprotic solvents are given above. The reaction step a) is particularly preferably carried out at a temperature of from -30° to 0° C. In reaction step b), the electrophilic compound is particularly preferably added at a temperature of from -30° to 0° C and the reaction mixture is then warmed to room temperature. Examples of compounds having an electrophilic carbon atom are aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aromatic or mixed aliphatic, cycloaliphatic and aromatic ketones, aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic aldehydes, aliphatic, cyloaliphatic or aromatic carboxylic acids, C0 2 , carboxamides, carboxylic esters, nitriles or acid chlorides. Examples of such compounds are: R a R b -C(O), R a -CN, R a -C(O)CI, R a -C(O)N((C 1 -d 2 )alkyl) 2 , R a -C(0)-0-(Cι-C 2 )alkyl groups, CO 2 , dimethylformamide, formaldehyde, cyclic ethers such as oxacyclobutane, oxacyclopropane, C ∑ -C^alkyl-oxacyclopropane or cyclic amines such as aziridine. R a and R are, independently of one another, unsubstituted linear or branched d- C 12 alkyl, C 2 -C 12 alkenyl, C 2 -C 12 alkynyl, Cs-C^cycloalkyl, Cs-C^cycloalkenyl, phenyl, phenyl- (Cι-C 12 )alkyl; or d-dalkyl-, C,-C 4 alkoxy-, halogen- or hydroxy-substituted d-Cι 2 alkyl, C 2 -C 12 alkeny!, C 2 - C, 2 alkynyl, C 5 -C 12 cycloalkyl, C 5 -d 2 cycloalkenyl, phenyl, phenyl-(d-C 12 )alkyl. Use of halogen- or hydroxy-substituted C,-Cι 2 alkyl, C 2 -Cι 2 alkenyl, C 2 -C 12 alkynyl, C 5 - Cι 2 cycloalkyl, C 5 -Ci 2 cycloalkenyl, phenyl, phenyl-(d-C 12 )alkyl or, for example, of epichlorohydπn, glycidol, glycidyl ethers such as bisphenol-A diglycidyl ether gives compounds which contain, in addition to the functional group FU, a further functional group in the bridging group B. Preferred compounds having an electrophilic centre are: oxacyclobutane, dimethylformamide, paraformaldehyde, 4-chlorobutyraldehyde, d-Cι 2 alkyl aldehydes such as acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, butyraldehyde, valeraldehyde, caproaldehyde, heptanal, octanal, nonanal, decanal, undecanal, dodecanal, aromatic aldehydes such as benzaldehyde, 4-(2-chloroethyl)benzaldehyde, tolualdehyde, anisaldehyde, salicylaldehyde, vanillin, aliphatic ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, cyclohexanone, cyclohexanedione, aromatic or mixed aromatic-aliphatic ketones such as acetophenone or benzophenone, alkyl 4-(2-chloroethyl)benzoates, 4-(2-chloroethyl)benzamides, 4-(2- chloroethyl)benzonιtrile. The compounds of the formula I are precursors for ferrocenyldiphosphines of the formula VI For this conversion, a compound of the formula I is reacted with a compound of the formula H-P(R, 2 R 13 ) in acetic acid, where Rι 2 and R 1 3 are as defined and preferred above. An analogous process is known and described, for example, in EP-A-612 758. It is also possible to carry out the individual process steps in another order. The invention therefore further provides a process for preparing a compound of the formula VI which comprises a) reacting a compound of the formula V with a compound of the formula H-P(R, 2 R, 3 ) in acetic acid to give a compound of the formula VII b) then further reacting the compound of the formula VII with alkyllithium; c) subsequently either d ) allowing the product to react with a C-electrophi c compound forming a functional group FU or c2) allowing the product to react with an electrophilic compound which forms a C- or Si-bonded bridge B and a functional group FU and d) if desired, converting the functional group FU into another functional group, where the radicals R,, Rι 0 , Rn, Ri∑ and R 13 are as defined and preferred above and aa) B is a direct bond and FU is a functional group bound via a carbon atom to the cyclopentadienyl; or bb) B is a bridging group bound via a carbon atom or a silicon atom to the cyclopentadienyl and FU is a functional group. The reaction steps b) and c) are preferably carried out in an inert aprotic solvent at a temperature of from -90° to + 30° C. Examples of aprotic solvents are ethers such as diethyl ether or tetrahydrofuran, hydrocarbons such as hexane, heptane or pentane, aromatics such as toluene, benzene, xylene, amides such as dimethylacetamide, ketones such as acetone or methyl ethyl ketone. The reaction step b) is particularly preferably carried out at a temperature of from -30° to 0° C. In reaction step c), the electrophilic compound is particulariy preferably added at a temperature of from -30° to 0° C and the reaction mixture is then warmed to room temperature. The compounds of the formula I or VI can be obtained as racemates, pure enantiomers or mixtures of enantiomers. Carrying out the synthesis starting from enantiomerically pure compounds of the formula II or V results in the highly preferential formation of only one of the two possible diastereomers of compounds of the formula I or VI. If the starting materials are racemates or optically active mixtures, these can be separated into the stereoisomers by known methods, with chromatographic methods being generally preferred In particular, the optical isomers of the compounds of the formula VI are valuable starting materials for preparing immobilized, extractable and adsorbable hydrogenation catalysts. The isolation and purification of the compounds is carried out by methods known per se, for example distillation, extraction, crystallization and/or chromatographic methods. The invention further provides metal complexes of the formulae Villa and Vlllb of d-8 metals with the compounds of the formula VI (Villa) where Rι, Rι 0 , Rn, Rι 2 , Rι 3 , B and FU are as defined and preferred above; Y is two monoolefin ligands or one diene ligand; Me is a d-8 metal; D is -Cl, -Br, -I; E ' is the anion of an oxyacid or complex acid. Me is preferably Rh, Ir or Pd and particularly preferably Rh or Ir. Preference is given to metal complexes in which Y is 1 ,5-hexadiene, 1 ,5-cyclooctadiene or norbomadiene. In the preferred metal complexes, E ' is CIO ' , CF 3 SO 3 ' , CH 3 SO 3 ' , HSO 4 " , BF 4 ' , B(phenyl) 4 " , PF 6 , SbCle , AsF 6 " or SbF 6 ' . The invention further provides a process for preparing the metal complexes of the formula Villa or Vlllb, which comprises reacting a compound of the formula VI with a metal compound of the formula [Me(Y)D] 2 or Me(Y) 2 + E " , in which Me is a d-8 metal, preferably rhodium or iridium, and Y, D and E ' are as defined and preferred above. The reaction is advantageously carried out in an inert gas atmosphere, for example argon, and advantageously at temperatures of from 0 to 40 °C, preferably at room temperature. Use is advantageously also made of a solvent or mixture of solvents, for example hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene, xylene), halogenated hydrocarbons (methylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, chlorobenzene), alkanols (methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol monomethy! ether) and ethers (diethyl ether, dibutyl ether, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether) or mixtures thereof. The compounds of the formulae Villa and Vlllb are themselves homogeneous catalysts which can be used for hydrogenations of unsaturated organic compounds. Methods of preparing such metal complexes and metal complexes with other phosphine ligands are described, for example, in EP-A-612 758. The metal complexes are preferably used for the asymmetric hydrogenation of prochiral compounds having carbon-carbon or carbon-hetero atom multiple bonds, in particular double bonds, especially the Ir complexes for hydrogenation of unsymmetric ketimines. Such hydrogenations using soluble homogeneous ferrocenyldiphosphine metal complexes are likewise described, for example, in EP-A-612 758. The invention further provides inorganic or organic polymeric support materials to which are bound the ferrocenyldiphosphines of the formula VI wherein the ferrocenyldiphosphines are bound via the functional group FU to the inorganic or polymeric organic support material, where the radicals B, FU, R,, Rio, Rn, Rι 2 and Rι 3 are as defined and preferred above. The ferrocenyldiphosphines of the formula VI are preferably bound to the surface of these support materials This has the advantage that all catalytically active groups are accessible and no inclusions occur. As a result, less catalyst-containing support material has to be used in the hydrogenation. If the compounds of the formula VI are bound to inorganic support materials, the functional group FU is advantageously first reacted with a compound of the formula (IX) (R,6)n(R,5θ)3.nSl-R 14 -NCO (IX), in which R 14 is d-C^alkylene, R, 5 is d-d 2 alkyl, R t6 is d-C 4 alkyl or OR 15 and n is 0, 1 or 2; in this case, FU is OH, NH 2 or NH-(d-Ci 2 )alkyl. This results in compounds of the formula (la), (lb) or (lc) The compounds of the formulae la, lb and Ic are intermediates for preparing ferrocenyldiphosphines bound to inorganic support materials. The invention further provides a solid inorganic material of the formula (Xa), (Xb) or (Xc) which has a ferrocenyldiphosphine ligand bound to its surface, where Ri, Rio, Rn. R12, R13. RM, R15. R16. B and n are as defined above and T is a solid inorganic support material; where The solid support material T can be a silicate or a semimetal or metal oxide or a glass and is preferably in the form of a powder having a mean particle diameter of from 10 nm to 2000 μm, preferably from 10 nm to 1000 μm and particularly preferably from 10 nm to 500 μm. The particles can be either compact or porous. Porous particles preferably have high internal surface areas, for example from 1 to 1200 m 2 , preferably from 30 to 600 m 2 Examples of oxides and silicates are SiO , Ti0 2 , 2r0 2 , MgO, NiO, W0 3 , Al 2 0 3 , La 2 0 3 , silica gels, clays and zeolites. Preferred support materials are silica gels, aluminium oxide, titanium oxide or glass and mixtures thereof. An example of a glass as support material is ' controlled pore glass" which is commercially available The material of the formula Xa, Xb or Xc can be prepared by a method analogous to that described in EP-A-0 496 699 by allowing a compound of the formula la, lb or Ic in an inert organic solvent to react with a solid inorganic support material T, advantageously under inert gas for example argon, and at a temperature of from 40 to 180 °C The solid material is advantageously placed in a reaction vessel, a solution of the compound of the formula la, lb or ic is added and the mixture is stirred at elevated temperature, for example from 50 to 1 10 °C Suitable solvents have been mentioned above, particularly preferred solvents are toluene and xylene The product can be isolated either by decantation, centnfugation or filtration The residue can be purified by washing with an alkanol and can then be dried in a high vacuum The tnalkoxysilane compounds of the formulae la, lb and Ic can also be converted directly into polysiloxanes by a sol-gel process. Such reactions have been described, for example, by U Deschler et al in Angew Chem. 98, (1986), 237-253. The present invention further provides organic polymeric support materials to which ferrocenyldiphosphines of the formula VI are bound via the functional group FU, where the radicals R,, Rio, Rn, R12. 13, B and FU are as defined and preferred above. The organic polymeric support materials can be uncrosslinked thermoplastic, crosslinked or structurally crosslinked polymers. The polymers can be either polymers of olefinically unsaturated monomers such as polyolefms, polyacrylates, polyisoprenes, polybutadiene, polystyrene, polyphenylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride or polyallyl compounds. However, they can also be polyaddition compounds such as polyurethanes or polyethers. Examples of polycondensed products are polyesters and polyamides. The monomers forming the polymer are preferably selected from the group consisting of styrene, p-methylstyrene or α-methylstyrene. Another preferred group of polymers is formed by monomers which are derived from α,β-unsaturated acids, their esters or amides. Particular preference is given to the monomers from the group consisting of acrylates and their d-C alkyl esters, methacrylates and their Cι-C alkyl esters, acrylamide and acrylonitnle. A likewise preferred group is derived from monomers selected from the group consisting of acrylates and their Cι-C 4 alkyl esters, methacrylates and their d-C 4 alkyl esters, which contain as structural element a bonded hydroxyl group or a bonded primary or secondary ammo group as functional group in the ester group. The bonding of the ferrocenyldiphosphines of the formula VI to the polymeric support materials can be carried out in various ways. In a preferred group of polymer-bonded compounds of the formula VI, FU is an olefinically unsaturated radical which is bound to the bridging group B via an ester group OC(O)- CR c =CR d R β or an amide group OC(NR f )-CR c =CR d R β , in which R c , R d , R β and R, are, independently of one another, hydrogen or d-Cβalkyl, an d these are used as comonomers in the free-radical polymerization of further olefinically unsaturated monomers. Examples and preferences for further monomers are mentioned above. For the remaining radicals of the compounds of the formula VI, the abovementioned meanings and preferences apply. The free-radical polymerization is carried out in a known manner and gives a copolymer in which the ferrocenyldiphosphine ligands are present in bound form. Another possibility is a polymer-analogous reaction as has been described by R. Cullen et. al. in J. of Organometallic Chemistry, 333 (1987), 269-280. In a first step, a compound of the formula VII is allowed to react with one equivalent of alkyllithium, as described above, and the reaction product is reacted in a next step with a polystyrene whose styrene groups have been partially oxidized to the aldehyde. This gives a polystyrene modified with ferrocenyldiphosphine ligands. A further preferred polymer-analogous reaction with polystyrene is first allowing the polystyrene to react with alkyllithium and, in a second step, reacting the reaction product with a compound of the formula (VI) in which the functional group FU is (O)C-H or (O)C-(d- d 2 )alkyl. This likewise gives a polystyrene modified with ferrocenyldiphosphine ligands. Polymer-analogous reactions are also possible with polycondensates such as polyesters and polyamides which contain, either in a side chain or directly in the polymer chain, a further functional group capable of condesation. Examples are hydroxyl-containing polyesters or polyethers which can be reacted with compounds of the formula VI in which the functional group FU is in this case preferably COO(C Cι 2 )alkyl or COCI. A further group of preferred polymers which are suitable for polymer-analogous reactions consists of monomers which comprise vinyl alcohol as homopolymer or vinyl alcohol as copolymer with vinyl acetate, stearate, benzoate, maleate, vinyl butyrat, allyl phthalate, allylmelamme. The compounds of the formula VI in which FU is (O)CH and B is as defined and preferred above can be reacted in a known manner with polyvinyl alcohols, with the bonding occurring by means of acetal or ketal formation. Likewise preferred polymers are formed from phenol and a d-C 4 aldehyde, particularly preferably from phenol and formaldehyde. The polymers are known as phenol- formaldehyde resins, in particular as novolaks, and are commercially available. Another preferred group of polymers which are suitable for polymer-analogous reactions is derived from bisglycidyl ethers and diols. These polymers are hydroxyl-functional polyethers which are prepared, for example, from bisglycidyl ethers and bisphenol A. These polyepoxides can be built up of diepoxide comonomers having preferably from 6 to 40 and particularly preferably from 8 to 30 carbon atoms and dioles as comonomers having preferably from 2 to 200 and particularly preferably from 2 to 50 carbon atoms. A preferred group derived therefrom is made up of monomers which build up a polymer from cyclic C 3 - C 6 ethers or C 2 -C 6 alkylene glycols with bisglycidyl ethers. The bisglycidyl ethers can be aromatic, aliphatic or cycloaliphatic. Further preferred polymers having hydroxyl groups as functional groups are polysacchaπdes. Particular preference is given to partial cellulose acetates, propionates or butyrates, partial cellulose ethers, starch, chitin and chitosan. Further polymers are derived from polymers containing reducible groups such as nitrile groups, ketone groups, carboxylic esters and carboxamides. It is also possible to use polymers which are insoluble in the reaction medium and have been functionalized on the surface with hydroxyl or amine groups by means of a chemical or physical process. For example, partly unsaturated polymers can be provided on the surface with hydroxyl groups by oxidation, e.g. using hydrogen peroxide. Another possibility is plasma treatment in, for example, an oxygen, nitrogen or ammonia atmosphere. The polymers are preferably in the form of powder. Among these support materials, particular preference is given to polystyrene which has been subsequently functionalized with hydroxyl, ammo or hydroxymethyl groups using known methods. A particularly preferred group is formed by a polymeric organic material comprising structural repeating units of the formula Xla or Xlb (Xla) (Xlb), in which B, R,, R, 0 , R i, R 12 and R 13 are as defined and preferred above; R is H or CrC, 2 alkyl; Q is a bridging group formed from a monoisocyanate or diisocyanate; and PM is the radical of a polymer-forming monomer which contains, directly or in a side chain, a bonded hydroxyl group or a bonded primary or secondary ammo group as functional group which is bound to the diphosphine via a bndging group Q formed from a mono- or diisocyanate The diphosphine radicals of the formula (Xla) or (Xlb) can be in the form of enantiomer mixtures; preference is given to polymers containing radicals of the formula VI in the form of the optically active R.R-, S,S-, R,S- or S,R isomers, based on the position of the phosphine groups. The choice of the mono- or diisocyanate for forming the bridging group Q is not critical per se. In particular, the bridging group Q can be formed by at least 2 carbon atoms. Suitable and industrially available diisocyanates are described, for example, in Houben Weyl, Makromolekulare Stoffe, Volume E 20, pages 1587 to 1583/1987 edition. Preference is given to diisocyanates whose bridging group Q is formed by a linear or branched aliphatic C 2 -C 20 alkyl which may be unsubstituted or monosubstituted or polysubstituted by d-C 6 alkyl or/and Cι-C 6 alkoxy, a C 3 -C β cycloalkyl or heterocycloalkyl which may be unsubstituted or monosubstituted or polysubstituted by d-C 6 alkyl or/and d- C 6 alkoxy, a linear or branched aliphatic C 2 -C 20 aikyl which may be unsubstituted or substituted by d-C 6 alkyl or/and d-C β alkoxy and is interrupted by unsubstituted or Cι- C 6 alkyl- or/and d-C 6 alkoxy-substituted C 3 -C 8 cycloalkyl or heterocycloalkyl, a phenyl, naphthyl, biphenyl or C 3 -d 0 heteroaryl radical which may be unsubstituted or monosubstituted or polysubstituted by d-C 6 alkyl or/and d-C 6 alkoxy, or a linear or branched aliphatic C 2 -C 20 alkyl which may be unsubstituted or substituted by d-C 6 alkyl or/and d-C 6 alkoxy and is interrupted by phenyl, naphthyl or C 3 -Cιoheteroaryl. Heterocycloalkyl is, for example, pyrrohdine, piperidine, morpholine, oxazo dine, dioxolane or an isocyanuπc tπester group. Heteroaryl is, for example, pyndine, pyπmidine, pyrrole, furan, imidazole, pyrazole or tπazine Particularly preferred are diisocyanates such as 1 ,6-bιs[ιsocyanato]hexane, 5-ιsocyanato-3- (ιsocyanatomethyl)-l ,1 ,3-tπmethylcyclohexane, 1 ,3-bιs[5-ιsocyanato-1 ,3,3-trιmethylphenyl]- 2,4-dιoxo-1 ,3-dιazetιdιne, 3,6-bιs-[9-ιsocyanatononyl]-4,5-dι-(1-heptenyl)cyclohexene, bis[4- ιsocyanatocyclohexyl]methane, trans-1 ,4-bιs[ιsocyanato]cyclohexane, 1 ,3- bιs[ιsocyanatomethyl)benzene, 1 ,3-bιs[1-ιsocyanato-1-methylethyl]benzene, 1 ,4-bιs[2- ιsocyanatoethyl)cyclohexane, 1 ,3-bιs-[ιsocyanatomethyl]cyclohexane, 1 ,4-bis[1 -isocyanato- 1-methylethyl]benzene, bis[ιsocyanato]ιsododecylbenzene,1 ,4-bis[isocyanato]benzene, 2,4- bιs[ιsocyanato)toluene, 2,6-bιs[isocyanato]toluene, 2,4-/2,6-bis[isocyanato]toluene, 2-ethyl-1 ,2,3-tπs[3-ιsocyanato-4-methylanilιnocarbonyloxy]propane, N,N'-bis[3-ιsocyanato-4- methylphenyl]urea, 1 ,4-bιs[3-ιsocyanato-4-methylphenyl]-2,4-dioxo-1 ,3-diazetidιne, 1,3,5- trιs[3-ιsocyanato-4-methylphenyl]-2,4,6-trιoxohexahydro-1 ,3,5-triazine, 1 ,3-bis[3-isocyanato- 4-methylphenyl]-2,4,5-trιoxoιmιdazolidιne, bis[2-ιsocyanatophenyl]methane, (2-isocyanatophenyl)(4-isocyanatophenyl)methane, bis[4-isocyanatophenyl]methane, 2,4- bis[4-isocyanatobenzyl]-1 -isocyanatobenzene , [4-isocyanato-3-(4- isocyanatobenzyl)phenyl][2-isocyanato-5-(4-isocyanatobenzyl)phenyl]methane, tris-[4- isocyanatophenyljmethane, 1 ,5-bis[isocyanato]naphthalene and 4,4'-bιs[isocyanato]-3,3'- dimethylbiphenyl and also 1 ,1 '-carbonyldiimidazoie. Very particularly preferred are diisocyanates such as 1 ,6-bis[isocyanato]hexane, 5- ιsocyanato-3-(isocyanatomethyl)-1 ,1 ,3-trimethylcyclohexane, 2,4-bis[ιsocyanato)toluene, 2,6-bis[ιsocyanato]toluene, 2,4-/2,6-bis[isocyanato]toluene and bis[4- isocyanatophenyljmethane and also 1 ,1 '-carbonyldiimidazole. The hydroxyl-containing polymers of the invention can be uncrosslinked thermoplastic, crosslinked or structurally crosslinked polymers. Examples of hydroxyl-containmg polymers have been mentioned above. The polymers to be used according to the invention are known per se, some are commercially available or they can be prepared by known polymerization methods or by subsequent modification of polymers. The polymeric organic materials preferably have a molecular weight of from 5000 to 5 000 000 Dalton, particularly preferably from 50 000 to 1 000 000 Dalton. A preferred subgroup of polymeric organic materials consists of highly crosslinked macroporous polystyrene or polyacrylate. Another preferred group of polymers consists of weakly crosslinked polystyrene. An example is polystyrene crosslinked by 1-5% of div ylbenzene. The particle size of the polymeric organic materials is preferably from 10 μm to 2000 μm. The highly crosslinked polymeric organic materials preferably have a specific surface area of from 20m 2 /g to 1000 m 2 /g, particularly preferably from 50 m 2 / g to 500 m 2 / g, determined by the BET method. The polymeric support material of formula Xla or Xlb can be prepared by A) in a first step, completely or partially reacting a polymer comprising structural repeating units of at least one monomer which contains, either directly in the polymer backbone or in a side chain, a bonded hydroxyl group or a bonded primary or secondary ammo group as functional group with a diiosocyanate forming a bridging group Q in an inert organic solvent and, in a second step, reacting the product with the diphosphine of the formula VI; or B) in a first step, completely or partially reacting a diphosphine of the formula VI with a diisocyanate forming a bridging group Q in an inert organic solvent and, in a second step, completely or partially reacting the product with a polymer comprising structural repeating units of at least one monomer which contains a bonded hydroxyl group or a bonded primary or secondary ammo group as functional group and C) if desired, crosslinking remaining free isocyanate groups with a C 2 -C 24 dιol or C 2 - C 24 dιamιne or reacting them with a d-C^alcohol or d-C^amme. If crosslinked polymers are prepared, preference is given to crosslinking from 0.01 to 10 mol°/o of the total isocyanate groups present. The process is preferably carried out in a polar or nonpolar aprotic solvent; the solvent is particularly preferably a halogenated hydrocarbon, an ester, a ketone, an acid amide, an ether, dimethyl sulfoxide or an unsubstituted or substituted hydrocarbon such as xylene, toluene, benzene or chlorobenzene. The reaction of the diisocyanate forming a bridging group Q with the amine or hydroxyl groups of the polymer and the diphosphine can be carried out at room temperature or elevated temperature, for example from 30° to 100° C, by methods known in the literature. The subsequent introduction, for example, of a hydroxy group into highly crosslinked polystyrene can be carried out by known methods. The polymer is first chloromethylated as described in J. Mol. Catal. 51 (1989), 13-27 and subsequently saponified by the method given by J. M. Frechet et al. in Polymer, 20 (1979) 675-680. The subsequent modification can also be carried out in bulk, for example using a plasma method. Chemical methods in solution or in emulsion are also possible. Insoluble polymers are milled beforehand by known methods and brought to the desired particle size. The invention further provides d-8 metal complexes, preferably rhodium or iridium metal complexes, of inorganic or organic polymeric support materials to which ferrocenyldiphosphines of the formula VI are bound via the functional group FU, where the radicals B, FU, Rι, Rio. Rn, R 12 and Rι 3 are as defined and preferred above. Preference is given to the d-8 metal complexes of the formula Xlla, Xllb, Xllc, Xlld, Xlle or Xllf in which R,, R, 0 , R,,, 1 2 .

For Y, D and E, the above preferences apply. The metal complexes of the formulae Xlla, Xllb, Xllc, Xlld, Xlle and Xllf can be prepared by an analogous method, as described in EP-A-0 496 699, and be used for a hydrogenation. A further preferred group of metal complexes comprising polymeric organic support materials consists of those of the formulae Xllla, Xlllb, Xlllc and Xllld. (Xllla), (Xlllb) (Xlllc), (Xllld), in which Rι, Rio, RH , R1 2 , Ri3. R 7, T, B, FU, PM, Q and v are as defined and preferred above; Y is two monoolefin ligands or one diene ligand; Me is a d-8 metal, preferably Ir or Rh; E is the anion of an oxyaeid or complex acid. For Y, D and E, the above preferences apply. The invention further provides a process for preparing a metal complex with the polymeric support material, which comprises reacting a compound of the formula Xla or Xlb with a metal compound of the formula [M(Y)D] 2 or M(Y) 2 * E ' , in which M is a d-8 metal, preferably rhodium or indium, and Y, D and E " are as defined above. The reaction is advantageously carried out under an inert gas atmosphere, for example argon, and advantageously at temperatures of from 0 to 40 °C, preferably at room temperature, if the polymer-bonded diphosphines are soluble. Use is advantageously made of a solvent or mixture of solvents, for example hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene, xylene), halogenated hydrocarbons (methylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, chlorobenzene), alkanols (methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether) and ethers (diethyl ether, dibutyl ether, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether) or mixtures thereof. A precalculated amount of this catalyst solution can be used directly for a hydrogenation reaction. Evaporation of the solvent or addition of a solvent in which the polymer is insoluble also makes it possible to isolate and use the polymer-bonded catalyst in solid form. In the case of insoluble, partially or highly crosslinked polymer-bonded diphosphines, the metal compound of the formula [M(Y)D] 2 or M(Y) 2 + E " is first dissolved in a solvent and this solution is added to the dissolved or slurried material. Here, the reaction conditions described above can be employed. The polymer of the invention can either be used directly or be isolated by filtration, purified by washing with the abovementioned solvents and dried under reduced pressure. The inorganic metal complexes of the invention can also be prepared in situ before a hydrogenation and then used directly as hydrogenation catalysts. The invention further provides ferrocenyldiphosphine ligands having a molecular weight of preferably less than 5000 Dalton which can be separated off by extraction with mutually immiscible liquids or by adsorption on a support material. In the extraction, preference is given to using two mutually immiscible liquids. When such ligands are used, virtually no metal and ligand losses occur. These extractable or adsorbable catalysts therefore allow, in particular, industrial-scale hydrogenations to be carried out economically. Suitable mutually immiscible liquids which may be mentioned are, for example, water and water-immiscible organic solvents such as alkanes (tor example hexane), chlorinated alkanes (for example methylene chloride, chloroform), aryls (for example toluene, benzene, xylene) or esters (for example ethyl acetate) or organic solvent systems such as fluoπnated hydrocarbons and hydrocarbons. Suitable support materials which may be mentioned are, for example, silica gel, in particular reversed-phase silica gel, polar and nonpolar polymers and ion exchangers (preferably for ligands having charged radicals). Preference is given to those adsorbable or extractable ferrocenyldiphosphine ligands which on one cyclopentadienyl ring have a tertiary phosphine group bound via a methylene group in the 1 position and a directly bound tertiary phosphine group in the 2 position and on the second cyclopentadienyl ring in the 1 ' position have an extractable or adsorbable radical bound via a silicon or carbon atom Suitable extractable or adsorbable radicals are also given in l.T. Horvath et al in Science, Vol 266 pages 72-75 (1994) Preferred extractable radicals are, for example, lipophiiic radicals derived from alkanes having a molecular weight of from 100 to 2000 Dalton or hydrophilic radicals derived from sugars, polyvinyl alcohols, polyacrylic actds, polyethylene glycols, polyvinyltoluene and polar dendnmers Fluonnated alkanes are also preferred Preferred adsorbable radicals are, for example, lipophiiic radicals which are derived from alkanes having a molecular weight of from 100 to 2000 Dalton and fluoroalkanes Further examples of extractable or adsorbable radicals are NaOOC OH or COONa Particularly preferred ferrocenyldiphosphine ligands are compounds of the formulae ( l ). in which R,, R,o, Rii, R12 and R 13 are as defined and preferred above; SI ΛΛ is a radical which is bound via a silicon atom and makes the compound (Via) extractable or adsorbable; and C ^WΛ is a radical which is bound via a carbon atom and makes the compound (Vlb) extractable or adsorbable. The compounds of the formulae (Via) and (Vlb) include, as in the case of the compounds of the formula (VI), the racemates, pure diastereomers or mixtures of diastereomers. The radical si- w * bound via a silicon atom preferably corresponds to a radical of the / Si / NaOOC or HOOC - formula COOH or COONa The radical c v, bound via a carbon atom preferably corresponds to a radical of the formula -B-FU, where a) B is a direct bond and FU is a functional group bound via a carbon atom to the cyclopentadienyl, or b) B is a bridging group bound via a carbon atom to the cyclopentadienyl and FU is a functional group. Preferred metal complex catalysts containing the ferrocenyldiphosphine (Via) or (Vlb) are compounds of the formulae Xaa, Xbb, Xcc and Xdd 3 (Xbb) where R l t Rio, Rn, R 12 , Rι 3 , Si' w and CW VΛ are as defined and preferred in the description of the ferrocenyl ligands; Y is either two monoolefin ligands or one diene ligand; Me is a d-8 metal, preferably Ir or Rh; D is -CI, -Br or -I; E ' is the anion of an oxyaeid or a complex acid. Preference is given to metal complexes in which Y is 1 ,5-hexadiene, 1 ,5-cyclooctadiene (COD) or norbornadiene. ln the preferred metal complexes, E " is CIO 4 " , CF 3 SO 3 ' , CH 3 SO 3 ' , HSO 4 \ BF 4 ' , B(phenyl), " , PFe , SbClβ " . AsF 6 " or SbF 6 ' . The metal complexes of the invention are very suitable as catalysts for the hydrogenation of organic double and triple bonds. Examples are compounds containing the groups C=C, C=N, C=0, C=C-N or C=C-O (see, for example, K. E. Kδnig, The Applicability of Asymmetric Homogeneous Catalysis, in James D. Morrison (ed.), Asymmetric Synthesis, Vol. 5, Academic Press, 1985). In particular, the metal complexes of the invention are suitable for the enantioselective hydrogenation of compounds containing prochiral carbon- carbon and carbon-heteroatom double bonds. Examples of such compounds are prochiral alkenes, imines and ketones. After the reaction, the catalysts of the invention can be separated virtually completely from the reaction mixture in a simple manner, for example by decantation, centrifugation, filtration, ultrafHtration, extraction or adsorption, and can be reused. A particular advantage is that they can be reused a plurality of times without significant activity or selectivity losses occurring The invention therefore further provides for the use of the novel metal complexes of d-8 metals, preferably rhodium or iridium, as heterogeneous or homogeneous catalysts for the asymmetric hydrogenation of prochiral compounds containing carbon-carbon or carbon- heteroatom double bonds. The metal complexes are preferably used for the asymmetric hydrogenation of prochiral compounds containing carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom double bonds, in particular the Ir complexes for hydrogenating asymmetric ketimines. The invention further provides a process for the asymmetric hydrogenation of compounds containing carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatom double bonds, which comprises reacting the compounds at a temperature of from -20 to 80 β C and a hydrogen pressure of from 10 5 to 2x10 7 Pa in the presence of catalytic amounts of one or more metal complexes of the invention. Preference is given to hydrogenations of imines using iridium catalysts of the invention. Iridium catalysts are preferably used in amounts of from 0.0001 to 10 mol%, particularly preferably from 0.001 to 10 mol% and in particular from 0.01 to 5 mol%, based on the imine to be hydrogenated. A preferred embodiment of the hydrogenation process is obtained when additional use is made of an ammonium or metal chloride, bromide or iodide. The chlorides, bromides and iodides are preferably used in amounts of from 0.01 to 200 mol%, particularly preferably from 0.05 to 100 mol% and in particular from 0.5 to 50 mol%, based on the iridium catalyst. The iodides are particularly preferred. Ammonium is preferably tetraalkylammonium having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms in the alkyl groups and the metal is preferably sodium, lithium or potassium. Particular preference is given to tetrabutylammonium iodide and sodium iodide. Very particular preference is given to the hydrogenation process in which additional use is made of an acid. This can be an inorganic or preferably organic acid. The acid is preferably used in a molar amount which is at least equal to that of the iridium catalyst (equal catalytic amounts) and can also be used in excess. The excess can even extend to the use of the acid as solvent. Preference is given to using from 0.001 to 50% by weight, in particular from 0 1 to 50% by weight, of acid, based on the amine. In some cases it can be advantageous to use anhydrous acids. Examples of inorganic acids are H S0 4 , highly concentrated sulfuric acid (oleum), H 3 PO 4 , HF, HCI, HBr, HI, HCI0 4 , HBF 4 , HPF 6 , HAsF 6 , HSbCI 6 , HSbF 6 and HB(phenyl) 4 . Particular preference is given to H 2 SO 4 . Examples of organic acids are aliphatic or aromatic, halogenated (fluorinated or chlorinated) or unhalogenated carboxylic acids, sulfonic acids, phosphorus(V) acids (for example phosphonic acids, phosphonous acids) having preferably from 1 to 20, particularly preferably from 1 to 12 and in particular from 1 to 6, carbon atoms. Examples are formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, benzoic acid, phenylacetic acid, cyciohexanecarboxylic acid, chloroacetic or fluoroacetic acid, dichloroacetic or difluoroacetic acid, trichloroacetic or trifluoroacetic acid, chlorobenzoic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, p-totuenesulfonic acid, chlorobenzenesulfonic acid, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, methylphosphonic acid and phenylphosphonic acid. Preferred acids are acetic acid, propionic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, methanesulfonic acid and chloroacetic acid. As acids, it is also possible to use acidic ion exchangers of an inorganic or organic nature of solid acids. For the purposes of the invention, solid acids are those which are insoluble or only swellable in the reaction medium. For the purpose of the invention, a solid acid is a solid, finely divided and possibly porous material of which 1 g in 100 ml of water gives a pH of ≤5, preferably <4 and particularly preferably ≤3. In one embodiment, the solid acids can be metal oxide systems in gel form (sol/gel systems), for example SiO 2 , GeO 2 , B 2 O 3 , AI 2 O 3 , TiO 2 , ZrO 2 and combinations thereof. If the desired effects are not as strong as expected, a significant improvement can be achieved by treating the sol/gel systems with an acid, preferably an at least dibasic acid such as H ? SO_ or H 3 PO4. Other suitable acids are, for example, HCI, HBr, HI, HCI0 4 , HBF 4 , HPF 6 , HAsF 6 , HSbCI 6 , HSbF 6 and HB(phenyl) 4 , aliphatic and aromatic, halogenated (fluorinated or chlorinated) or unhalogenated carboxylic acids, sulfonic acids, phosphorus(V) acids (for example phosphonic acids or phosphonous acids) having preferably from 1 bis 20, more preferably from 1 to 12 and particularly preferably from 1 to 8, carbon atoms, for example formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, benzoic acid, phenylacetic acid, cyclohexanecarboxylic acid, monochloroacetic, dichloroacetic and trichloroacetic acids, monofluoroacetic, difluoroacetic and trifluoroacetic acids, chlorobenzoic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, chlorobenzenesulfonic acid, trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, methylphosphonic acid and phenylphosphonic acid. Preference is given to H 2 SO 4 . In a further embodiment, the solid acids can be inorganic or organic ion exchangers which have been treated with at least dibasic acids such as H 2 SO 4 , H 2 S 2 O 7 or H 3 P0 4 . Ion exchangers are known to those skilled in the art and are described, for example, in Ullmann's Enzyklopadie der Chemischen Technik , Volume 13, 4th edition, pages 281 to 284. Organic ion exchangers which may be mentioned are, in particular, polymers containing acid groups such as -C(O)OH, -SO 3 H or -PO 3 H (for example Nafion) which are commercially available. Inorganic ion exchangers which may be mentioned are, in particular, the natural and synthetic alum osilicates, for example zeolites, which are described in Studies in Surface Science and Catalysis, Elsevier 1991, Vol. 58, Chapter 2, pages 13 to 33. They are commercially available. Some examples are zeolite ZSM-5, zeolite Y and mordenite. In another embodiment, the solid acids can be acidic natural or synthetic siliceous minerals which have no ion exchange capabilities or only a limited ion exchange capability. Examples are phyllosilicates and clay minerals, for example montmorillonite, hectorite, vermiculite, kaol ite and illite. The silicates and clay minerals can be additionally impregnated with an acid, preferably an at least dibasic acid such as H 2 S0 4 , H 2 S 2 O 7 and H 3 PO 4 , which may further increase the effect. Other suitable acids have been mentioned above. In a further embodiment, the solid acids can be heteropolyacids which preferably consist of the elements Mo, V, W, O and H plus B, Si or P as secondary or trace constituents. Such heteropolyacids are known and described, for example, in Chemtech, pages 23ff (November 1993) or Russian Chemicals Reviews, pages 81 Iff (1987). Some examples are H 3 PW, 2 O 40 , H 9 PV 6 Mo 6 O 0 , H 4 SιMθι 2 O 40 and H 5 BW 12 O 40 . In another suitable embodiment, the solid acids are nonacidic, solid, finely divided and possibly porous support materials which are impregnated with an acid. Suitable support materials are, for example, organic polymers such as epoxy resins, urea-aldehyde resins, melamine-aldehyde resins, polystyrene, ABS and polyolefins. Suitable inorganic support materials are, for example, metal and semimetal oxides (B 2 0 3 , Al 2 0 3 , Si0 2 , Ti0 2 , Zr0 2 ), metal nitrides, metal carbides, minerals such as silicates and ground rock. It is self-evident that the acids must not react with the support materials. Suitable acids have been mentioned above. Specifically, the process of the invention can be carried out by first preparing the catalyst by, for example, dissolving (lrDιeneCI) 2 in a solvent or an acid or both, adding a diphosphine and then an alkali metal or ammonium halide and stirring the mixture. (lrDieneCI) 2 can also be added as a solid. The solution of the imines is added to this catalyst solution (or vice versa) and, in an autoclave, hydrogen is injected and the protective gas which is advantageously used is thus removed. It is advantageous to avoid keeping the catalyst solution for any length of time and to carry out the hydrogenation of the imines as directly as possible after preparation of the catalyst solution. The reaction mixture is heated if desired and hydrogenated. After the reaction has ended, the mixture is cooled if appropriate and the autoclave is vented. The reaction mixture can be ejected from the autoclave using nitrogen and the hydrogenated organic compound can be isolated and purified in a manner known per se, for example by precipitation, extraction or distillation. In the hydrogenation of aldimines and ketimines, these can also be formed in situ before or during the hydrogenation. In a preferred embodiment, an amine and an aldehyde or a ketone are mixed, added to the catalyst solution and the aldimine or ketimine formed in situ is hydrogenated. However, it is also possible to initially charge an amine, a ketone or an aldehyde together with the catalyst and to add the ketone or the aldehyde or the amine, either all at once or by metered addition. The hydrogenation can be earned out continuously or batchwise in various types of reactor. Preference is given to those reactors which allow comparatively faithful mixing and good heat removal, for example loop reactors. This type of reactor has been found to be useful particularly when small amounts of catalyst are employed. The process of the invention gives the corresponding amines at high chemical conversions in short reaction times; surprisingly good optical yields (EE) of 70 % and more are achieved even at relatively high temperatures of above 50 °C and even at high molar ratios of imine to catalyst. The hydrogenated organic compounds which can be prepared according to the invention, for example the amines, are biologically active substances or intermediates for preparing such substances, in particular in the field of preparing pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Thus, for example, O,O-dialkylarylketamine derivatives, in particular those containing alkyl and/or alkoxyalkyl groups, act as fungicides, particularly as herbicides. The derivatives can be amine salts, acid amides, e.g. of chloroacetic acid, tertiary amines and ammonium salts (see, for example, EP-A-0 077 755 and EP-A-0 115 470). The present invention further provides metal complex catalysts of ruthenium containing a ferrocenyl ligand of the formula (VI), (Via) or (Vlb) where R,, R, 0 , Rn, Rι 2 , Rι 3 , B, FU, Si'*"w* » and CV VΛ have the meanings and preferences given in the description of the ferrocenyl ligands, additionally the ferrocenyl ligand of formula (VI) may be bound via the functional group FU to an inorganic or polymeric organic support material. These ruthenium catalysts can be prepared by methods analogous to those known from the literature Possible starting compounds for the reaction with the compounds of the formula (la) or (lb) to give the catalyst complexes are, for example- [Ru 2 (CF 3 CO 2 ) 4 (H 2 O) (COD) 2 ], [Ru 2 CI 4 (p-cymene) 2 ] or [RuCI 2 COD] n .

Table 1 : Amounts and reaction conditions used and loadings obtained Examples E1 -E10: Preparation of N-(2'-methyl-6'-ethylphen-1 'yl)-N-(1- methoxymethvPethylamine General procedures: All manipulations are carried out under inert gas. All hydrogenations are carried out using 20 g (97 mmol) of imine. The catalyst is prepared in situ from ligand and [lr(COD)CI] 2 , using a ratio of ligand/lr of 1.2. The 50 ml steel autoclave is fitted with a magnetic stirrer (1500 rpm) and baffles. The inert gas in the autoclave is displaced by hydrogen, in each case in 4 cycles (10 bar, atmospheric pressure), before the hydrogenation. The desired hydrogen pressure is then set in the autoclave and the hydrogenation is started by switching on the stirrer. The conversion is determined in each case by means of gas chromatography and the optical yield by means of HPLC (column: Chiracel OD). For this pu ose, use is made of a sample purified by flash chromatography (silica gel: Merck 60, eluant: hexane/ethyl acetate). A solution of 0.32 mg of [lr(COD)CI]2 (0.0095 mmol of Ir) in 1 ml of THF is added all at once to 22.8 mg of immobilized (R),(S) ligand of the compound (303) from Example C3 and the mixture is stirred slowly, with the yellow solution becoming decolorized.

Microanalytical examination of the hydrogenation product indicates that 80% of both ligand and Rh have been removed. E17: Removal of the catalyst by extraction: The orange reaction solution is evaporated to dryness on a rotary evaporator. The mixture is then stirred in 5 ml of water, 0.5 ml of a 0.07 molaren phosphate buffer (pH 7) and 5 ml of ethyl acetate and the pH is brought to 8 by addition of 1N NaOH. During this procedure, the orange colour of the catalyst passes completely into the aqueous phase. The organic phase is collected, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated on a rotary evaporator. A white hydrogenation product is obtained. Microanalysis (P and Rh) of the product indicates that over 95% of the catalyst has been removed. Example E18-21 : Preparation of N-(2'-methyl-6'-ethylphen-1 'yl)-N-(1 -methoxymethyl)ethylamine General All manipulations are carried out under inert gas. All hydrogenations are carried out using 20 g (97 mmol) of imine. The catalyst is prepared in situ from ligand and [lr(COD)CI] 2 , using a ratio of ligand lr of 1.2. The 50 ml steel autoclave is fitted with a magnetic stirrer (1500 rpm) and baffles. The inert gas in the autoclave is displaced by hydrogen, in each case in 4 cycles (10 bar, atmospheric pressure), before the hydrogenation. The desired hydrogen pressure is then set in the autoclave and the hydrogenation is started by switching on the stirrer. The conversion is in each case determined by means of gas chromatography and the optical yield is determined by means of HPLC (column: Chiracel OD). For this purpose, a sample purified by flash chromatography (silica gel: Merck 60, eluant: hexane/ethyl acetate) is used. The procedure is illustrated by means of the following experiments. Hydrogenation: A solution of 3.2 mg of [lr(COD)CI] 2 (0.095 mmol of Ir) in 1 ml of THF is added to 10.2 mg (0.012 mmol) of ligand (R),(S)-(103) in a Schlenk vessel and the mixture is stirred for 5 minutes.

A second flask is charged with 10 mg of tetrabutylammomum iodide, 2 ml of acetic acid and finally 20 g (97 mmol) of imine, the solution is blanketed with inert gas and added to the catalyst. The reaction mixture is then injected into a 50 ml steel autoclave using a steel capillary under a countercurrent of inert gas and subsequently hydrogenated at 80 bar of hydrogen pressure at 25 °C. After 30 minutes, hydrogen absorption has ended. Removal of the catalyst by extraction: The autoclave is discharged, the hydrogenation solution is treated with 11 ml of hexane and washed twice with 10 ml of water. It is subsequently extracted with 20 ml of 1N NaOH. Small amounts of a foam-like material are formed at the interface between the organic and aqueous phases during the extraction. The organic phase is separated off and evaporated on a rotary evaporator. Its content of P and Ir is below the detection limit of the analaytical method used (P: 4ppm; Ir: 5ppm). This means that more than 88% of the ligand and more than 93% of the Ir have been removed. Hydrogenations using ligand (103) S/C * : Substrate to catalyst in mol; n.d. * : not determined
