Metal-Catalyzed Asymmetric Synthesis and Stereoselective ReactionsKey words asymmetric hydrogenation b-enamine esters iridium Significance: Expanding their work on the asymmetric hydrogenation methodology, this work demonstrated a highly efficient enantioselective hydrogenation of unprotected b-enamine esters catalyzed by an iridium (S,S)-f-binaphane complex. The free b-enamine acids were obtained in excellent yields and enantioselectivities (for asymmetric hydrogenation of unprotected NH imines, see:
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
