title: Enhancement of enantioselectivity by alcohol additives in asymmetric hydrogenation with bis(oxazolinyl)phenyl ruthenium catalysts.
abstract: Bis(oxazolinyl)phenyl ruthenium(II) complexes were found to catalyze asymmetric hydrogenation of ketones, in which chiral bulky alcohol additives showed significant enhancement of enantioselectivity even in protic solvents.
