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
A series of chiral cyclometalated iridiumcomplexes have been synthesised by cyclometalating chiral 2-aryl-oxazoline and imidazoline ligands with [Cp*IrCl2]2. These iridacycles were studied for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation reactions with formic acid as the hydrogen source and were found to display various activities and enantioselectivities, with the most effective ones affording up to 63% ee
The chiral phosphoric acid catalyzed enantioselective transferhydrogenation of various ketimines was achieved by the use of 2-aryl indoline as the hydrogen donor. Corresponding chiral amines were obtained in good chemical yields with excellent enantioselectivities.

A highly active organocatalyst has been shown to affect the asymmetric reductive amination of ketones producing both aromatic and aliphatic amines. At 1 mol% catalyst loading, a series of structurally diverse chiral amines were quickly and economically prepared with good enantioselectivity and generally useful yield. The efficient synthesis of the calcimimetic (+)-NPS R-568 (67%, 89% ee) demonstrated the synthetic applicability of this methodology.
