Manganese catalysed enantioselective hydrogenation of in-situ-synthesised imines : efficient asymmetric synthesis of amino-indane derivatives
Abstract
A manganese catalyst of a facially coordinating P,N,N ligand catalyses the hydrogenation of imines derived from indanone derivatives with high enantioselectivity. There is no requirement for an activating group and imines can be generated in situ. The selectivity can be rationalised by DFT calculations.
