Iridium-catalyzed enantioselective synthesis of chiral γ-amino alcohols and intermediates of (S)-duloxetine, (R)-fluoxetine, and (R)-atomoxetine
Enantioselective hydrogenation of β-amino ketones is a powerful tool to produce bioactive molecules, but their asymmetric transformation is synthetically challenging. Here, an iridium-catalysed system with tridentate ferrocene-based phosphine ligands bearing unsymmetrical vicinal diamine scaffolds i...
