Abstract
The TunePhos/diamine-Ru(II) complex combined with t-BuOK in 2-propanol effectively catalyzes enantioselective hydrogenation of a wide range of simple ketones including aromatic, heteroaromatic, alpha,beta-unsaturated, and cyclopropyl ketones, affording high reactivity (up to 1,000,000 TON) and excellent enantioselectivities (>99% ee for 13 examples).
