We developed an efficient, easily available, and easy to use proline amide-based ruthenium(II) catalysts for the asymmetric hydride transfer reduction of prochiral ketones and e.e.s up to 98.8% have been measured.

Amide hydrolysis is a fundamentally important transformation in organic chemistry. Developing hydrolysis procedures under mild conditions with a broad substrate scope is desirable. Herein, by leveraging a photoresponsive auxiliary o-nitroanilide, we established a mild two-step protocol for the hydrolysis of primary and secondaryamides. This protocol is driven by visible light irradiation at room temperature
