title: Asymmetric hydrogenation of aryl ketones mediated by a copper catalyst.
abstract: [reaction: see text] A novel asymmetric hydrogenation protocol using a copper catalyst is reported. A Cu(I) complex in the presence of nonracemic BDPP hydrogenates aryl ketones with moderate to high enantioselectivity.
