The best results were obtained in the [Ru(eta(6)-p-cymene)(mu-Cl)Cl](2) and (2S)-2-[benzyl(2-{benzyl[(2S)-1-[(diphenylphosphanyl)oxy]-3-phenyl propan-2-yl]amino}ethyl)amino]-3-phenylpropyl diphenylphosphinite or (2R)-2-[benzyl(2-{benzyl[(2R)-1-[(diphenylphosphanyl) oxy]-3-phenylpropan-2-yl]amino}ethyl) amino]-3-phenylpropyl diphenylphosphinite catalytic systems, which gave enantioselectivities of up to 93% ee and 99% conversion.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessPhosphinitesEnantioselectivityHydrogenationHomogeneous CatalysisRutheniumKetonesBis(phosphinite) with C2-Symmetric Axis; Effects on the Ruthenium(II)-Catalyzed Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of Acetophenone DerivativesBis(phosphinite) with C2-Symmetric Axis; Effects on the Ruthenium(II)-Catalyzed Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of Acetophenone DerivativesArticle1927772784WOS:0003114921000112-s2.0-8486849459110.1055/s-0032-1317505Q3Q2
