An outstanding catalyst for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation in aqueous solution and formic acid/triethylamine

Abstract

A Rh/tetramethylcyclopentadienyl complex containing a tethered functionality has been demonstrated to give excellent results in the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketones in both aqueous and formic acid/triethylamine media.
