Abstract

Significant catalytic activities (up to 600 h− 1 at 20° C) and enantiomeric excesses ranging from 56 to 89% for the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of β-ketoesters, methoxyacetone and 2-acetylpyridine to the corresponding alcohols are achieved in the presence of catalytic combinations of [RuCl2 (η6-arene)] 2 and N-substituted derivatives of (1S, 2R)- norephedrine such as N-benzyl-norephedrine and N-(4-biphenyl) methyl-norephedrine.
