A chiral cobalt pincer complex combined with an achiral electron-rich mono-phosphine ligand catalyzes efficient asymmetric hydrogenation of aryl ketones, yielding chiral alcohols with high yields and moderate to excellent enantioselectivities. The achiral mono-phosphine ligand has a remarkable effect on the enantioselectivity of the reaction.
A chiral cobalt pincer complex, when combined with an achiral electron-rich mono-phosphine ligand, catalyzes efficient asymmetric hydrogenation of a wide range of aryl ketones, affording chiral alcohols with high yields and moderate to excellent enantioselectivities (29 examples, up to 93% ee). Notably, the achiral mono-phosphine ligand shows a remarkable effect on the enantioselectivity of the reaction.
