Abstract

Chiral proline amide/amine ligands (2, 3), synthesized by multi-step reaction starting from l-proline (1), were evaluated as catalyst generated in situ from [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of aromatic ketones in the presence of sodium formiate and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The results revealed that efficiencies and enantioselectivities strongly depend on the N-substituents.
