Abstract: A series of Mn(I) catalysts containing imidazole-based chiral PNN tridentate ligands with controllable "side arm" groups have been established, enabling the asymmetrical hydrogenation of unsymmetrical benzophenones with outstanding activity (up to 13 000 TON) and excellent… read more here.
