Chiral Ruthenium Catalyst Immobilized within Magnetically Retrievable Mesoporous Silica Microcapsules for Aqueous Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenations

Aqueous biphasic iron-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of aromatic ketones

For the first time, an iron(ii) catalyst is used in the biphasic asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of ketones to enantioenriched alcohols employing water and potassium formate as the proton and hydride source, respectively.
