title: Development of new camphor based N,S chiral ligands and their application in transfer hydrogenation.
abstract: A new class of N,S-containing chiral compounds based on the camphor scaffold have been synthesised and evaluated as chiral catalysts in the transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone. The best results were achieved using compound 6a as the ligand and [Ir(COD)Cl](2) as the metal precursor.
