title: SimplePHOX, a readily available chiral ligand system for iridium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation.
abstract: [reaction: see text] New Ir-SimplePHOX complexes Ir-6-Ir-9 catalyze the quantitative, highly enantioselective hydrogenation of a range of unfunctionalized and functionalized olefins. Synthesis, catalytic results, and X-ray crystal structures are presented here.
