Abstract

Asymmetric hydrogenations are of great importance in the synthesis of optically active amines. This account highlights the development of the first metal-free transfer hydrogenation that is both highly enantioselective and inspired by nature’s dehydrogen­ase. Further focus is given to the extension of this bioinspired process to provide a variety of valuable, biologically active products and natural products under mild reaction conditions.

1 Introduction

2 Nature’s Reductions: Dehydrogenases as a Role Model

3 Brønsted Acid catalyzed Transfer Hydrogenation of Ketimines

4 Asymmetric Organocatalytic Reduction of Quinolines

5 Asymmetric Organocatalytic Reduction of N-Heterocycles

5.1 Asymmetric Brønsted Acid Catalyzed Hydrogenation of ­Indoles

5.2 Asymmetric Brønsted Acid Catalyzed Hydrogenation of Benzoxazines, Benzthiazines, Benzoxazinones, Quinoxalines, Quinoxalinones and Benzodiazepinones

6 Asymmetric Organocatalytic Reduction of Pyridines

7 Asymmetric Organocatalytic Reductions in Cascade ­Sequences

8 Conclusion

Key words

binol phosphate - Brønsted acid - Hantzsch ester - transfer hydrogenation - organocatalysis - asymmetric reduction
