Abstract:Transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of ketones has been well established; however, the asymmetric hydrogenation of sterically unbiased ketones remains a formidable challenge, due to the difficulty in control of enantioselectivity. Herein, we have developed a highly practical and efficient protocol for the asymmetric hydrogenation of sterically unbiased aromatic ketones, and a series of chiral cyclic diaryl alcohols, including the key intermediate of Baloxavir (super Tamiflu), with up to 99% yie… Show more
