Development of catalysts for asymmetric hydrogenation

The application of tetradentate aminoalcohol ligands to the KOtBu-catalysed hydrogenation of benzophenone has been studied. Hydrogenation was found to proceed via a transfer hydrogenation process with the ligands acting as hydrogen donors. A series of bidentate and tetradentate ligands containing a...
