Development of a benzimidazole-derived bidentate P,N-ligand for enantioselective iridium-catalyzed hydrogenations
The development of a novel benzimidazole-derived bidentate P,N-ligand and its application in Ir-catalyzed hydrogenation is described. The ligand backbone was obtained through a one-pot tandem hydroformylation–cyclization sequence and the enantiomers of the generated alcohol were separated by chiral...

The development of a novel benzimidazole-derived bidentate P,N-ligand and its application in Ir-catalyzed hydrogenation is described.
