A low cost, viable and modular method to prepare new, highly selective catalytic materials, especially catalytic membranes, is described. A method for the engineering and use of various types of reactors based on these catalytic membranes, even in a one-pot procedure, is also disclosed. The catalytic membranes are versatile, in terms of variety of chemical reactions promoted, and can be easily reused with negligible catalysts leaching. They are particularly useful, but not limited to, the asymmetric hydrogenation of substituted α,&bgr; unsaturated acids or esters.
