A Catalyst for Efficient and Highly Enantioselective Hydrogenation of Aromatic, Heteroaromatic, and α,β-Unsaturated Ketones

Abstract
PhanePhos-ruthenium-diamine complexes catalyze the asymmetric hydrogenation of a wide range of aromatic, heteroaromatic, and alpha, beta-unsaturated ketones with high activity and excellent enantioselectivity.
