The chiral M-CsDPEN [M = Ru, Rh, Ir; CsDPEN = (R,R,R)- or (S,S,S)-N-camphorsulfonyl-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine] catalysts have been shown to be efficient for the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of aryl ketones by formate in neat water. Of particular note is the Ir-(R,R,R)-CsDPEN catalyst, which catalyzes the ATH of a wide range of ketones and delivers almost full conversions within a few hours at a S/C ratio of 1000 at 40 °C in most cases, with enantioselectivities up to 98% ee.
手性M-CsDPEN [M = Ru, Rh, Ir; CsDPEN = (R,R,R)- 或 (S,S,S)-N-樟脑磺酰-1,2-二苯基乙二胺]催化剂已被证明是在纯水条件下用甲酸进行芳香酮不对称转移氢化的有效催化剂。特别值得关注的是Ir-(R,R,R)-CsDPEN催化剂,它在大多数情况下,在40°C下以1000的S/C比率催化广泛范围的酮的不对称转移氢化反应,在几个小时内几乎实现完全转化,并且最高可达98%的ee值的手性选择性。
