Abstract
Asymmetric hydrogenation is becoming an increasingly prevalent
technology for the manufacture of complex pharmaceutical intermediates.
Drawing from Chirotech’s experience over the past eight
years, this article emphasises the need for a diverse catalyst collection
in providing practical solutions for a wide range of target compounds.
Key words
asymmetric hydrogenation - diversity - DuPhos - ligands - catalyst collection
