The highly enantioselective and complete hydrogenation of protected indoles and benzofurans has been developed, affording facile access to a range of chiral three-dimensional octahydroindoles and octahydrobenzofurans, which are prevalent in many bioactive molecules and organocatalysts. Remarkably, we are in control of the nature of the ruthenium N-heterocyclic carbene complex and employed the complex
受保护的吲哚和苯并呋喃的高度对映选择性和完全氢化已经被开发出来,可以方便地获得一系列手性三维八氢吲哚和八氢苯并呋喃,它们在许多生物活性分子和有机催化剂中普遍存在。值得注意的是,我们控制了钌N-杂环卡宾配合物的性质,并将该配合物用作均相和非均相催化剂,为其在更具挑战性的芳香族化合物的不对称氢化中的潜在应用提供了新途径。
