Abstract

ABSTRACT A series of chiral phosphite-type ligands was tested in asymmetric Ir-catalyzed hydrogenation of quinolines and 2, 4, 5, 6-tetrahydro-1H-pyrazino (3, 2, 1-j, k) carbazole. Hydrogenation of quinaldine hydrochloride provided superior enantioselectivity up to 65% ee compared to quinaldine free base. The ligands were tested for the first time in the asymmetric Ir-Ircatalyzed hydrogenation of 2, 4, 5, 6-tetrahydro-1H-pyrazino (3, 2, 1-j, k) ...
