Abstract

Recent progress in our bifunctional molecular catalysts for the reductive transformation of functional groups with electronically localized C-O bond (polar functionalities) using molecular hydrogen (H2) is described. The newly developed Cp* Ru(PN) complexes have proven to be efficient catalysts for the hydrogenation of a range of polar functionalities. The structural modification of the protic amine ligand improves the catalytic performance and allows efficient access to various chiral compounds of synthetic value.
