Novel chiral multidentate P3N4-type ligand for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of aromatic ketones

Novel chiral multidentate P3N4-type ligand has been synthesized and characterized by NMR and HRMS.Using i-PrOH as solvent and hydrogen source, asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of various ketones was investigated. The catalyst generated in situ from chiral multidentate aminophosphine ligand(R,R,R,R)...

Summary:Novel chiral multidentate P3N4-type ligand has been synthesized and characterized by NMR and HRMS.Using i-PrOH as solvent and hydrogen source, asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of various ketones was investigated. The catalyst generated in situ from chiral multidentate aminophosphine ligand(R,R,R,R)-3 and IrCl(CO)(PPh3)2exhibited highly catalytic activity and excellent enantioselectivity under mild conditions, achieving the corresponding chiral alcohols with up to 99% yield and 99% ee.
