Benzothiazoline: highly efficient reducing agent for the enantioselective organocatalytic transfer hydrogenation of ketimines.
Benzothiazoline proved to be an efficient reducing agent for the phosphoric acid-catalyzed enantioselective transfer hydrogenation reaction of imines. Corresponding amines were obtained with excellent enantioselectivities.
