Abstract

Chiral diaminodiphosphine-ruthenium(II) complexes were found to be excellent catalysts for the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of heteroaromatic ketones in propan-2-ol. In the presence of potassium hydroxide, the enantioselective reduction of heteroaromatic ketones proceeded smoothly to give chiral alcohols with excellent enantiomeric excess (up to 97% ee) under mild conditions without reduction of the heterocycle.

Key words

asymmetric - transfer hydrogenation - catalysis - heteroaromatic ketones - heteroaromatic alcohols
