Achiral benzophenoneligand–rhodium complex with chiral diamine activator for high enantiocontrol in asymmetric transfer hydrogenation

Abstract

The chirality of an achiral benzophenone-based rhodium complex can be controlled by chiral diamines to afford significantly high enantioselectivity in the catalytic asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketones (up to 99% ee, 99% yield).
