Highly enantioselective amido iridium catalysts for the hydrogenation of simple ketones.

In the production of chiral compounds chemocatalysis com-petes with other techniques such as, for example, theresolution of racemates, the “chiral pool” approach, andbiocatalysis. Highly enantioselective chemocatalysts based onsimple and inexpensive ligands could drastically increase theimportance of chemocatalysis.
