The chiral tridentate spiro P-N-S ligands (SpiroSAP) were developed, and their iridium complexes were prepared. Introduction of a 1,3-dithiane moiety into the ligand resulted in a highly efficient chiral iridium catalyst for asymmetric hydrogenation of β-alkyl-β-ketoesters, producing chiral β-alkyl-β-hydroxyesters with excellent enantioselectivities (95-99.9 % ee) and turnover numbers of up to 355 000. Bulkyness is the key: New chiral tridentate spiro P-N-S ligands (SpiroSAP) bearing a conformationally constrained 1,3-dithiane moiety were developed. Their iridium catalysts showed excellent enantioselectivities and activity (TON up to 355 000) for asymmetric hydrogenation of β-alkyl-β-ketoesters.
