Asymmetrichydrogenation of N-alkyl and N-aryl ketimines catalyzed by chiralcationic η6-arene-(N-monosulfonylated diamine) Ru(II) complexes has been investigated. Strong counteranion and solvent effects on the enantioselectivity were observed. The ruthenium catalyst bearing non-coordinating BArF− anion was found to be particularly effective for the hydrogenation of acyclic and exocyclic N-alkyl ketimines
Catalytically active iridacycles are formed by cyclometalation of acetophenone imines with Ir–PHOX complexes under hydrogen atmosphere. These complexes show unusually high reactivity and enantioselectivity in the hydrogenation of alkyl methyl ketimines. The structure of the cyclometalated imine has a strong effect on the conversion and enantiomeric excess.

The asymmetric hydrogenation of imines with a chiral titanocene catalyst derived from Brintzinger's ansatitanocene complex 1 proceeds to afford amines with good to excellent enantioselectivity. The catalyst is particularly effective for the reduction of cyclic imines. For these substrates enantiomeric excesses from 95 to 99% were achieved. For acyclic imines lower enantiomeric excesses were observed. The reason for this is likely due to the fact that the acyclic imines are mixtures of anti and syn isomers which interconvert during the reaction. The catalyst was found to be tolerant of many functional groups found in organic synthesis. Thus the reaction represents an effective method for the synthesis of chiral cyclic amines.
Chiral Molecular Tweezers: Synthesis and Reactivity in Asymmetric Hydrogenation
We report the synthesis and reactivity of a chiral aminoborane displaying both rapid and reversible H-2 activation. The catalyst shows exceptional reactivity in asymmetric hydrogenation of enamines and unhindered imines with stereoselectivities of up to 99% ee. DFT analysis of the reaction mechanism pointed to the importance of both repulsive steric and stabilizing intermolecular non-covalent forces in the stereodetermining hydride transfer step of the catalytic cycle.

A kinetic study of the asymmetric titanocene-catalyzed imine hydrogenation has revealed the rate law to be rate = k(obs)[Ti][H-2]. for cyclic imine 2 and acyclic imine 4. This rate law is consistent with a mechanism in which the imine reacts with a titanium hydride in a fast 1,2-insertion step, to form a titanium amide intermediate, followed by slow reaction of the amide complex with hydrogen to produce the amine and regenerate the titanium hydride. Labeling studies for the hydrogenation of 2 and studies using enantiomerically enriched aldimine 6 indicate that beta-H elimination is also slow, relative to hydrogenolysis, for both 2 and 4. The enantiomeric excesses for the hydrogenation of 2 were found to be essentially insensitive to changes in reaction conditions. However, for imine 4, the ee's were dependent on several variables, most significantly hydrogen pressure. This-phenomenon has been explained on the basis of the interconversion of the syn and anti isomers of 4 during the hydrogenation. It has been shown that syn-4 reacts faster than anti-4, a necessary condition for the explanation presented to hold true. A stereochemical model based on steric and electronic considerations has been proposed to account for the observed selectivity. This model can aid in predicting the absolute configurations of the amines farmed in this process.
