Abstract

A new type of Ru(II)/TsDPEN catalyst containing an ether-based linking tether has been prepared and shown to exhibit excellent activity in asymmetric transfer hydrogenation reactions of ketones. Related complexes containing a hydroxyl-terminated alkyl chain have also been prepared and tested as asymmetric catalysts. In some cases the activity of the new catalyst type complements that of the closely related alkyl-chain tethered complexes.
