Abstract

We describe a convenient, chemoselective asymmetric reductive amination procedure for the conversion of ketones to chiral hydrazines and amines. The key step in the three-step process is enantioselective DuPHOS-Rh-catalyzed hydrogenation of the C N double bond of N-acylhydrazones. Detailed optimization studies revealed the effect of solvent, temperature, and the N-acyl group on the enantioselectivity and catalytic efficiency of the ...
