Abstract
Abstract A rational approach is needed to design hydrogenation catalysts that make use of Earth-abundant elements to replace the rare elements such as ruthenium, rhodium, and palladium that are traditionally used. Here, we validate a prior mechanistic hypothesis that partially saturated amine (imine) diphosphine ligands (P-NH-NP) activate iron to catalyze the asymmetric reduction of the polar bonds of ketones and imines to valuable ...
