Hydrogenation of ketones over platinum group metals : a DFT study

The enantioselective hydrogenation of a-ketoesters over a platinum surface modified by cinchona alkaloids has been studied using accurate computational modelling. A series of small prototype compounds were used to interact with the metal surface, leading to the study of acetone adsorption on a plati...
