An Unsymmetrical Iron Catalyst for the Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation­ of Ketones

Abstract A new iron(II)(Ph 2 P–NH–N–PCy 2 ) complex with a dicyclohexylphosphino group trans to the NH group was found to catalyze the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of a variety of ketones with high enantioselectivity.
