Abstract
The Ru(II)-BINAP-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine combined catalyst system effects asymmetric hydrogenation of certain cyclic enones in 2-propanol containing KOH with a substrate/catalyst molar ratio of 250 to 2500. The hydrogenation occurs selectively at the C=O function with excellent enantio- or diastereoselectivity.Keywords
