Mechanisms of the H2- and transfer hydrogenation of polar bonds catalyzed by iron group hydrides†
Abstract
This perspective reviews our efforts to use a mechanism-based approach to develop catalysts for the asymmetric hydrogenation of prochiral ketones and imines. A goal is to discover catalysts based on the abundant 3d transition metals, particularly iron.
