Diphenylphosphanylsulfoximines as Ligands in Iridium‐Catalyzed Asymmetric Imine Hydrogenations

Abstract

Easily accessible phosphine-substituted sulfoximines 2 have been applied in Ir-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenations of acylic N-arylated imines 1. The amines 3 are formed under mild conditions in high yields with excellent ee values.
