Iridium-catalyzed enantioselective hydrogenation of vinyl boronates

Alexander Paptchikhine, Pradeep Cheruku, Mattias Engman and Pher G. Andersson


The first Ir-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenations of vinyl boronates have been performed using low catalyst loadings (0.5 mol%) and pressure (as low as 1 bar). Good selectivities (76–98% ee) were obtained for a range of substrates.
