Asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of unsaturated ketones; factors influencing 1,4- vs 1,2- regio- and enantioselectivity, and alkene vs alkyne directing effects
Dedicated to the memory of Professor Jonathan M. J. Williams, a brilliant scientist and a friend since our PhD years. Jon once said to me at a conference some time ago that he was trying to introduce the term “hydrogen borrowing” to synthetic chemistry, and hoped it would catch on. It certainly did.
