Abstract

Some achiral β-amino alcohols have been shown as efficient ligands for the ruthenium- catalysed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of N-(tert-butylsulfinyl) imines in isopropanol. The ruthenium complex prepared from [RuCl2 (p-cymene)] 2 (2.5 mol%) and 2-amino-2- methyl-1-propanol (5mol%) leads to α-branched chiral primary amines with very high optical purities (up to 98% ee) by the diastereoselective reduction of the imines followed by ...
