Aminohydroxy phosphine oxide ligands in ruthenium-catalysed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation reactions

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/j.tetasy.2004.04.040

A class of aminohydroxy phosphine oxide ligands was derived from optically active amino alcohols, containing stereogenic centres at phosphorus and at carbon. Their activities and selectivities in the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation reaction were assesse
