Application of phosphine-oxazoline ligands in Ir-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of acyclic aromatic N-arylimines.
[reaction: see text] A new class of chiral phosphine-oxazoline ligands have been developed. Chiral Ir complexes prepared from these ligands induced high enantioselectivities (66-90% ee) when applied to the asymmetric hydrogenation of acyclic aromatic N-arylimines.
