Abstract
A highly enantioselective hydrogenation of aromatic ketones using IrH(CO)(PPh3)3 and a tetradentate PNNP-type ligand is described. The ability to perform the reaction in the absence of base allows a wider substrate scope. A variety of other ligands (binary and PNNP-type) and metal hydride complexes were investigated.
