Asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketones catalyzed by hydrophobic metal-amido complexes in aqueous micelles and vesicles

Asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketones, especially α-bromomethyl aromatic ketones, catalyzed by unmodified, hydrophobic transition metal-amido complexes (TsDPEN-M), was performed successfully with significant enhancement of activity, chemoselectivity, and enantio-selectivity (up to 99% ee) in aqueous media containing micelles and vesicles. The hydrophobic catalyst, embedded in micelles constructed from the surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), could be separated from the organic phase along with the products and was recycled for at least six times.

Enantio- and diastereoselective synthesis of all four stereoisomers of formoterol

Enantioselective syntheses of all four stereoisomers of formoterol are accomplished using asymmetric catalytic borane reductions with chiral oxazaborolidines as reducing agents.
