Scheme 7.15.
Synthesis of (
S
) - MA20565 via asymmetric hydrogenation.
zirconocene catalysts [363] have been proved effective to certain substrates in this area.
Some success has also been achieved in the asymmetric hydrogenation of functionalized
C=N double bonds, such as
N
-acyl hydrozones, sulfonimides, and
N
- diphenylphosphinyl
ketimines. Very recently, both the Zhang [364] and Zhou [365,366] groups explored this
type of substrates with Pd catalysts. Superior enantioselectivities have been achieved
with a wide range of substrates, providing great promise to this transformation.
