title: Development of catalysts for the stereoselective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated ketones.
abstract: Iridium phosphinitoxazoline complexes were found to be new efficient catalysts for the asymmetric hydrogenation of arylated α,β-unsaturated ketones. Linear as well as cyclic substrates are hydrogenated with similar success, giving selectivities of up to 99.7% ee.
