Abstract

(S,R)-Indan-ambox ligand and its ruthenium(II) complex have been prepared and successfully applied to asymmetric hydrogenation of prochiral simple ketones. A wide range of unfunctionalized ketones are reduced by Ru(II)-indan-ambox catalyst with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 97% ee).
