Abstract
A new class of sterically hindered chiral ferrocenyl P,N,N-ligands have been prepared through a two-step transformation from (Sc,Rp)-PPFNH2, in which a new (R)-stereogenic center at the pyridinylmethyl position was generated in high diastereoselectivity. With these newly developed P,N,N-ligands, Ir-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of various α-alkyl-substituted β-aryl-β-ketoesters via dynamic kinetic resolution has been realized in high diastereo- and enantioselectivities for the first time, which led to a variety of optically active anti-β-hydroxyesters in up to 99% ee. The study indicated that the additional stereocenter at the pyridinylmethyl position of these ligands is crucial to realize this hydrogenation.
