Abstract

A method is reported for making a potentially very wide series of ruthenium hydrido chloro complexes with diamine and readily-prepared diphosphinite ligand modules as precatalysts for the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of simple ketones to give chiral alcohols in good yield and enantioselectivity.
