Abstract
•A new tethered Rh(III) complex containing the TsDPEN ligand was synthesized.•This complex proved efficient for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketones.•High level of enantio- and diastereoselectivities was obtained for this reaction.
A new Rh(III) complex containing the TsDPEN ligand and an η6-arene connected through a carbon tether is reported. The asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of a series of ketones catalyzed by this complex using the formic acid/triethylamine system provided the corresponding alcohols with complete conversions and a high level of enantioselectivity.
