title: Asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketimines by indoline as recyclable hydrogen donor.
abstract: The chiral phosphoric acid catalyzed enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of various ketimines was achieved by the use of 2-aryl indoline as the hydrogen donor. Corresponding chiral amines were obtained in good chemical yields with excellent enantioselectivities.
