Enantioselective transfer hydrogenation catalyzed by iridium(I) complexes with nitrogen donor ligands

The reduction of prochiral ketones by hydrogen transfer from isopropanol is catalyzed by cationic iridium(I) complexes containing optically active Schiff bases. Optical yields of up to 33% have been obtained.
