摘要
The efficient catalytic systems generated in situ from RuCl2（PPh3）3 and chiral ligands N,N-bis[2-（di-o-tolylphosphino）-benzyl]cyclohexane-1,2-diamine（2） were employed for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of aromatic ketones, giving the corresponding optically active alcohols with high activities（up to 99% conversion） and excellent enantioselectivities（up to 96% e.e.） under mild conditions. The chiral ruthenium（Ⅱ） complex （R,R）-3 has been prepared and characterized by NMR and X-ray crystallography.
