Abstract
The asymmetric hydrogenation of tetrasubstituted α,β-unsaturated ketones has been accomplished using an in situ formed rhodium-Josiphos catalyst. The reaction is enhanced by addition of catalytic zinc(II) triflate, which significantly improves turnover frequency while suppressing epimerization of the products.Entities:
