Hydrogenation is one of the most fundamental transformations in organic synthesis, and its
industrial applications span from fine chemicals to pharmaceuticals synthesis. 1− 3 Direct …

Chiral cyclic structures are found in numerous natural products, pharmaceutical compounds,
and important synthetic intermediates. Asymmetric hydrogenation, allowing for the …

In this review, we consider the main processes for the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of
ketones from 2008 up today. The most effective organometallic compounds (derived from …

Access to readily functionalized ligand architectures is of crucial importance in a range of
different areas including catalysis, metallopharmaceuticals, bioimaging …

The complexes [(Cym) Ru (L) Cl] PF6, 2–4, and [Cp* Ir (L) Cl] PF6, 6–8 (Cym= p-cymene,

The synthesis of a series of tridentate ligands based on a homochiral 1, 2-diamine structure
attached to a triazole group and their subsequent applications to the asymmetric transfer …

We highlight recent developments of catalytic transfer hydrogenation of ketones promoted
by transition metals, while placing it within its historical context. Since optically active …

Novel P2N4‐donors containing chiral 22‐membered macrocyclic ligands have been
synthesized and the structures have been determined by an X‐ray diffraction study. The …
