Research Abstract |
Chiral Ru(II) and Ir(III) complexes developped by our research groupi efficiently catalyzed 1) asymmetric cyanosilylation of aldehydes and ketones, 2) asymmetric hydrogenation of ketones, and 3) asymmetric 1,3-hydride migration of allylic alcohols : 1) Enantioselectivity as high as 99% in the reaction with a substrate-to-catalyst molar ratio (S/C) of 10,000 was achieved. 2) A series of chiral alcohols which is hardly prepared by the other methods was readily synthesized in high enantioselectivity. One of these ractions has been commercialized in the synthetic process of a chiral medicine. 3) The highest enantioselectivity of 98% in the reaction with an S/C of 1000 was achieved
