Enantioselective hydrogenation of alkynyl ketones catalyzed by Ru(OTf)(TsDPEN)(η6-p-cymene) (TsDPEN = N-(p-toluenesulfonyl)-1,2- diphenylethylenediamine) affords the propargylic alcohols in up to 97% ee. The alkynyl moieties are left intact in most cases. The reaction can be conducted with a substrate-to-catalyst molar ratio as high as 5000 under 10 atm of H 2. The mode of enantioselection is elucidated with the transition state models directed by the CH/π attractive interaction between the substrate and the catalytic species.
