Abstract:Significance: Prior to this work several asymmetric transition-metal-catalyzed hydrogenation reactions using Ti, Rh, and Ir as metal sources have been investigated, providing chiral tertiary amines. In the present study, the authors utilized an iridium complex derived form N,P ligand L1. This system provides modest to good enantioselectivities for the hydrogenation of various acetophenone derived enamines.Comment: While one of the earliest examples of asymmetric enamine hydrogenation utilizing a titanocene cat… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
