Iridium-HetPHOX Complexes for the Catalytic Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Olefins and Imines

Abstract

Heterocyclic phosphino oxazolines derived from thiophene and benzo[b]thiophene (HetPHOX) form highly active iridium complexes for the enantioselective hydrogenation of olefins and imines.

hydrogenation - asymmetric catalysis - ligands - iridium - alkenes
