Abstract
The first asymmetric hydrogenation of phenanthridines catalyzed by chiral cationic ruthenium diamine complexes has been developed with up to 92% ee and full conversions. The choice of the counteranion of the catalyst was found to be critical for achieving high enantioselectivity. In addition, the obtained 5,6-dihydrophenanthridine could be used as a chiral hydride donor for organocatalytic asymmetric transfer hydrogenation.
