Ru-catalyzed hydrogenation of 3,5-diketo amides: simultaneous control of chemo- and enantioselectivity

Abstract

By modulating the chelating priorities of the different directing groups in 3,5-diketo amides with the assistance from coordinating solvent, highly chemo- and enantioselective hydrogenation of the C3-carbonyls was achieved in the presence of [RuCl(benzene)(S)-SunPhos]Cl in THF.
