An iridiumcatalyst enables the reductive amination of carbonylgroups with unprecedented substrate scope, selectivity, and activity using formic acid as the hydrogen source (see scheme). The catalyst system provides significant improvement over commonly used boron hydrides.

Post‐synthetic modification of the hafnium metal–organicframework MOF‐808(Hf) to include triarylphosphine ligands is reported. Sulfonated phenylphosphines are incorporated without oxidation to give a “MOF ligand” that can complex late transition metals such as Ir and Rh to give a bifunctional catalyst containing both metal–phosphine complexes and the Lewis acidic framework hafnium metalsites.

Difficult-to-access chiralprimaryamines were formed in good to high yield and ee using a rare example of a one-potsynthesis from prochiral ketones (sequentialreductive amination-hydrogenloysis). As a highlight we also demonstrate a one-potreductive amination-hydrogenolysis-reductive amination (five reactions) of ortho-methoxyacetophenone resulting in the chiral diamine 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)ethy
