Abstract

The value of optically active amines as resolving agents, as chiral auxiliaries, and as components of many important biologically active compounds is well documented. Accordingly, the development of practical methods for the production of enantiomerically pure amines is of cardinal interest. We recently have described the effectiveness of cationic Me-DuPHOS-Rh and Me-BPE-Rh catalysts for highly enantioselective hydrogenation of N ...
