Abstract

Abstract Optically active hydrobenzoins are very important building blocks for further derivation of biologically active complexes, natural products, and pharmaceutical compounds. In this paper, A practical approach has been developed for asymmetric hydrogenation of benzils with Ru (OTf)(TsDPEN)(η 6-cymene) as a pre-catalyst in methanol. Therefore, a series of chiral hydrobenzoins was synthesized in good yields with good to ...
