H2-O-T! Aromatic O-heterocycles are a challenging substrates for asymmetric hydrogenation (H2). An in situ formed chiral N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ruthenium complex allows the high yielding, completely regioselective, and highly asymmetric hydrogenation of substituted benzofurans at room Temperature, giving valuable 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans (see scheme).
