Abstract
When associated with a noncoordinating bulky counteranion, a cationic Cp*Rh(III)-diamine catalyst displayed excellent enantioselectivities in asymmetric hydrogenation of cyclic imines, affording bioactive tetrahydroisoquinolines and tetrahydro-β-carbolines frequently with 99% ee’s.This publication has 27 references indexed in Scilit:
