Chemo- and Enantioselective Hydrogenations : The Struggle of Expanding the Substrate Scope of Iridium Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenations of Olefins

The asymmetric hydrogenation of olefins is a facile and popular method of reaching chiral products. Whereas ruthenium- and rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenations have a long history, the use of iridium in this area is new but fast-growing. Since the first chiral N,P-ligated iridium catalyst was...
