Homogeneous Chiral Nickel‐Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Substituted Aromatic <i>α</i>‐Aminoketone Hydrochlorides through Dynamic Kinetic Resolution

Abstract

Vive la résolution: Homogeneous chiral nickel complexes catalyze the asymmetric hydrogenation of substituted aromatic α-aminoketone hydrochlorides through dynamic kinetic resolution to afford medicinally important β-aminoalcohols with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities.
