Abstract

New bis(oxazolinyl)phenyl-ruthenium(II) complexes, which were synthesized by C-H bond activation with RuCl(3).3H(2)O in zinc powder and 1,5-cyclooctadine followed by ligand exchange reaction with sodium acetylacetonate or acetylacetone, exhibited enantioselective hydrogenation of ketones in up to 90% ee.
