Abstract

An explanation for the reversal in the sense of the enantioselectivity observed in hydrogen transfer reactions from 2-propanol to ketones catalyzed by the ruthenium or osmium amino acidates [(η6-p-MeC6H4-i-Pr)M(Aa)Cl] and [(η6-p-MeC6H4-i-Pr)M(Aa)]3[BF4]3 [Aa=piperidine-2-carboxylate (pip), N-methyl-L-phenylalaninate (MePhe)] is given; the molecular structures of [(η6-p-MeC6H4-i-Pr)Os(Pip)Cl] (1), [(η6-p-MeC6H4-i-Pr)Os(Pip)]3[BF4]3 (2), [(η6-p-MeC6H4-i-Pr)M(MePhe)Cl] [M=Ru (3), Os (4)] are also reported.
