Organic transformations catalyzed by cyclopentadienyl complexes of Group 9 metals (cobalt,
rhodium and iridium) are the key steps of the total synthesis of various natural products …

This review contains an account of recent developments in catalytic, asymmetric processes
reported for the reduction of CN bonds to amines, in which we have attempted to …

Here we report the catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) of non‐activated imines promoted
by a Fe‐catalyst in the absence of Lewis acid co‐catalysts. Use of the (cyclopentadienone) …

Selective functionalization has numerous potential applications in the modification of
bioactive compounds and pharmaceuticals. Herein, we advance a new approach for the …

Enantioselective imine reduction of dihydro-β-carbolines (DHBCs) is a reliable and powerful
tool to construct bioactive chiral tetrahydro-β-carbolines (THBCs). Here, we report an …

The use of arene/Ru/TsDPEN catalysts bearing a heterocyclic group on the TsDPEN in the
asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of dihydroisoquinolines (DHIQs) containing meta …

Enantiopure tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs), recognized as privileged skeletal structures in
natural alkaloids, have attracted considerable attention from chemists due to their biological …

Starting from the chiral 5, 6, 7, 8-tetrahydroquinolin-8-ol core, a series of amino-phosphorus-
based ligands was realized. The so-obtained amino-phosphine ligand (L1), amino …

An efficient enantioselective synthesis of tetrahydro‐β‐carbolines (THBCs) using chiral
metal‐monothiosquaramides (M–MTSQs) was planned. The in situ generated Pd/Fe …

There is a wide range of biological activities associated with C1 chiral carbon containing 1-
substituted-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydroisoquinolines (1-substituted-THIQs) which constitute the …
