Abstract

AbstractNovel P2N4‐donors containing chiral 22‐membered macrocyclic ligands have been synthesized and the structures have been determined by an X‐ray diffraction study. The catalytic systems in situ generated from triiron dodecarbonyl, Fe3(CO)12, and the chiral macrocyclic ligand exhibited high activity (TOF up to 1940 h−1) and excellent enantioselectivity with up to 99% ee in the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of various aromatic ketones.
