Abstract

A new chiral ligand N-p-toluenesulfonyl-2,2′-dimethoxy-6,6′- diaminobiphenyl (Ts-DMBDPPA) was prepared from 2,2′-dimethoxy-6,6′- diaminobiphenyl via N-tosylation. Its Ru(II) complex was effective catalysts for catalytic asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of aromatic ketones (with ee's up to 69.3%).
