Enantioselective hydrogenation of alkenes and imines by a gold catalyst.
A new neutral dimeric gold(I) complex bearing the 1,2-bis[(2R,5R)-2,5-dimethylphospholanebenzene] [(R,R)-Me-Duphos] ligand has been synthesized which catalyzes the asymmetric hydrogenation of alkenes and imines under mild reaction conditions.
