Abstract
The highly efficient asymmetric hydrogenation of α-arylmethylene cycloalkanones catalyzed by Ir-complexes of chiral spiro aminophosphine ligands was developed, providing chiral exo- cyclic allylic alcohols at high yields with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 97% ee) and high turnover numbers (S/C up to 10,000). This new reaction provided an efficient method for the synthesis of the key intermediate of the active form of the anti-inflammatory ...
