Abstract
The first general synthesis of mononuclear hexacoordinate chiral ruthenium-complexes is presented. Four chiral ruthenium(II)(2-methylallyl) 2 complexes containing Diop, Chiraphos, Norphos, and Binap were prepared in 50–71% yield under mild conditions, and were found to be effective for asymmetric hydrogenation of unsaturated carboxylic acids to give the corresponding saturated derivatives attaining 90% optical purity.
