Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of 1‐Aryl‐3,4‐Dihydroisoquinolines Using a Cp*Ir(TsDPEN) Complex

We report herein a simple alternative method for the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of 1‐aryl‐3,4‐dihydroisoquinolines (1‐Ar‐DHIQs) that are known to be challenging substrates owing to their poor reactivity. The hydrogenation protocol employs the readily available Cp*Ir(TsDPEN) {where Cp* =... View More
