A magnetic Pt/SiO2/Fe3O4 catalyst consisting of chirally modified platinum supported on silica coated magnetite nanoparticles was prepared using an easy synthetic route and successfully applied for the enantioselective hydrogenation of various activated ketones. The magnetic catalyst modified with cinchonidine showed a catalytic performance (activity, enantioselectivity) in the asymmetric hydrogenation of various activated ketones in toluene comparable to the best known Pt/alumina catalyst used for these reactions. The novel catalyst can be easily separated from the reaction solution by applying an external magnetic field and recycled several times with almost complete retention of activity and enantioselectivity.
