title: Asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of 3-nitroquinolines: facile access to cyclic nitro compounds with two contiguous stereocenters.
abstract: Hi, neighbor! The first organocatalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of aromatic nitro compounds was successfully developed with up to 99 % ee. The new methodology provides a direct and facile access to enantiopure cyclic nitro compounds with two contiguous stereocenters.
