Abstract

Different chiral dithio or azathio ether ligands have been synthesized and tested in the enantioselective reduction of acetophenone into 1-phenylethanol under atmospheric pressure of hydrogen and at room temperature, with PdCl 2 or Pd(OAc) 2. The influence of the ligand structure on the conversion and on the chemoselectivity of the reaction is studied. Low, but significant enantioselectivity (up to 16% ee) has been observed.
