Application of [BoPhoz Rh] catalysts in the asymmetric hydrogenation of a pyridyl benzothiophene alkene
2012
Abstract The asymmetric hydrogenation of a pyridyl benzothiophene alkene has been successfully accomplished using [BoPhoz Rh] catalysts. By tailoring the steric properties of the BoPhoz ligand, the ee of the product could be increased from just 12% to 90%. This research further expands the substrate scope of the conventional class of functionalized alkenes amenable to catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation.
