title: Highly enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of fluoroalkyl ketones.
abstract: [Structure: see text] The asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of fluoroalkyl ketones mediated by [Ru(eta6-arene)((S,S)-R2NSO2DPEN)] catalysts using HCO2H-Et3N afforded the corresponding alcohols with high ee's and in excellent yields.
