Highly enantioselective hydrogenative desymmetrization of bicyclic imides has been developed with chiral CpRu(PN) catalysts. The present hydrogenation directly provides stereochemically well-defined cyclic compounds with excellent enantiomeric exessses, which might otherwise require a detour to reach.
