Highly enantioselective asymmetric hydrogenation of (E)-β,β-disubstituted α,β-unsaturated Weinreb amides catalyzed by Ir(i) complexes of SpinPhox ligands

Abstract

The Ir(I) complexes of chiral spiro phosphino–oxazoline ligands (SpinPhox) have demonstrated good to excellent enantioselectivity in the asymmetric hydrogenation (AH) of a variety of (E)-β,β-disubstituted α,β-unsaturated N-methoxy-N-methylamides, affording the corresponding optically active Weinreb amides with up to 97% ee.
