journal contribution
posted on 02.08.2007, 00:00 authored by Murthy N. Cheemala, Paul KnochelThe Ir-catalyzed enantioselective hydrogenation of various N-(3,5-dimethyl-4-methoxy)phenylimines was performed under mild conditions in
the presence of new P,N-ferrocenyl iridium complexes leading to (R)-N-(3,5-dimethyl-4-methoxy)phenylamines in high yields and enantioselectivities
(up to 99%). These chiral aryl amines can be readily deprotected using Ce(NH4)2(NO3)6.
