Abstract
A ruthenium complex was found to catalyze the hydrogenation of chiral esters without the loss of their optical purities under mild and neutral conditions. This method can avoid a violent quench step and an extraction step which accompany conventional reduction using metal hydride reagents such as sodium borohydride and lithium aluminum hydride.
