Abstract
The asymmetric hydrogenation of 2,4-pentadien-1-ones has been achieved by using trans-RuCl2[(R)-XylylSunPhos][(R)-Daipen] as catalyst under basic conditions. This hydrogenation demonstrated exclusive C1-carbonyl selectivity and thus the conjugated 2,4-diene motifs remained untouched, which provides a synthetically useful method for various chiral 2,4-pentadien-1-ols.
