Ligand 25.35 has been designed for use in Ru-based catalysts for hydrogenation reactions in an EtOH/hexane solvent

Question:

Ligand 25.35 has been designed for use in Ru-based catalysts for hydrogenation reactions in an EtOH/hexane solvent system. These solvents separate into two phases upon the addition of a small amount of water.

(a) For what types of hydrogenations would this catalyst be especially useful? Rationalize your answer.

(b) Ligand 25.35 is related to BINAP (25.14) but has been functionalized. Suggest a reason for this functionalization.
