Abstract

The enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of racemic /3-keto gamma-lactams via dynamic kinetic resolution using a chiral Ru(II) catalyst has been developed for the synthesis of optically active /3-hydroxyl lactams with excellent conversion (up to 99 %), high diastereomeric ratio (dr dr 93:07) and enantiomeric selectivity (89 % ee ). The reaction proceeded by using HCO2H/Et3N 2 H/Et 3 N as hydrogen donor and features mild, additive free reaction conditions, fast crystallization, broad substrate scope, and an operationally simpler setup than that for molecular hydrogenation.
