A new and flexible procedure for the preparation of chiral azolium salts derived from (S)-pyroglutamic acid has been developed. The efficiency of these ligands has been evaluated in the metal-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of aromatic ketones in isopropanol. Good enantioselectivities up to 90%ee were observed.
