Ni-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of N-aryl imino esters for the efficient synthesis of chiral α-aryl glycines

Chiral α-amino acids find application in the fields of pharmaceutical, biological and synthetic chemistry. Here, the authors report a nickel-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of N-aryl imino esters affording chiral α-aryl glycines in high yields and enantioselectivities.
