In situ formation of ligand and catalyst--application in ruthenium-catalyzed enantioselective reduction of ketones.
The direct in situ formation of highly efficient ruthenium-catalysts for the asymmetric reduction of ketones was obtained by combining chiral ligand building blocks with a ruthenium precursor.
