Abstract

A range of 1-aryl-2-tetranols, and 1-phenyl-2-indanol, have been generated in high yield and enantiomeric excess from the corresponding racemic ketones, via a dynamic kinetic resolution–transfer hydrogenation process, using Ru (II)-TsDPEN in formic acid/triethylamine (5: 2). This provides a potential entry to an asymmetric total synthesis of benzazepines such as Sch 39166.
