The invention comprises novel chiral metal complex compounds of the formula (I) wherein M, PR2, R3 and R4 are outlined in the description, its stereoisomers, in the form as a neutral complex or a complex cation with a suitable counter ion. The chiral metal complex compounds can be used in asymmetric reactions, particularly in asymmetric reductions of ketones, imines or oximes.
The synthesis of different metal pincer complexes coordinating to the chiral PNP ligand bis(2‐((2R,5R)‐2,5‐dimethyl‐phospholanoethyl))amine is described in detail. The characterized complexes with Mn, Fe, Re and Ru as metal centers showed good activities regarding the reduction of several prochiral ketones. Comparing these catalysts, the non‐noble metal complexes produced best selectivities not only for

The invention relates to a process for the reduction of compounds comprising a carbon-carbon (C═C), carbon-oxygen (C═O), or carbon-nitrogen (C═N) double bond, to a corresponding hydrogenated alkane, alcohol or amine, comprising contacting a compound comprising the C═C, C═O or C═N double bond with a hydrogen donor solvent and a catalyst comprising a metal complex having a tridentate aminodiphosphine ligand under transfer hydrogenation conditions.
