Asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketones in aqueous solution catalyzed by rhodium(III) complexes with C2-symmetric fluorene-ligands containing chiral (1R,2R)-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine
Two C2-symmetric bis(sulfonamide) ligands containing fluorene-chiral (1R,2R)-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine were complexed to RhIII(Cp*) and used as catalyst to reduce aromatic ketones. The corresponding chiral secondary alcohols were obtained in 87-100% ee and 85-99% yield, under asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) conditions using aqueous sodium formate as the hydride source. With acetophenone, 94% ee and 86-97% yield was achieved with substrate/catalyst (S/C) ratio of 10,000.
