An asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of bulky aryl ketones with ammonia borane was successfully realized with chiral phosphoric acid (CPA) as catalyst and water as additive. A variety of optically active secondary alcohols were obtained in good to high yields with up to 77% ee. The reaction likely proceeded through a Brønsted acid-promoted double-hydrogen transfer between ketones and ammonia borane
以手性磷酸(CPA)为催化剂,水为添加剂,成功实现了氨硼烷对大体积芳基酮的不对称转移加氢反应。以高至高收率获得了多种旋光仲醇,ee高达77%。该反应可能是通过布朗斯台德酸促进的双氢在酮和氨硼烷之间的六元一致过渡态转移而进行的。
