Design and Development of Chiral Catalysts for Highly Enantioselective Hydrogenation of Amides via Dynamic Kinetic Resolution Under Low Pressure at Room Temperature
DownloadFall 2017
Amide reduction has a long, important history in pharmaceutical and related chemical industries. Traditional stoichiometric reduction methods suffer from numerous drawbacks such as limited functional group tolerance, poor atom economy, and environmental issues. Over the past two decades,...

Design, Development and Mechanistic Study of Ruthenium-Based Catalysts for the Hydrogenation of Imides and Amides
DownloadSpring 2014
Prior mechanistic studies demonstrate that trans-[RuH2((R)-BINAP)((R,R)-dpen)] is a remarkably active carbonyl reducing agent at low-temperatures in THF-d8. This dissertation describes the monohydrogenation of cyclic meso-imides using this catalyst and related complexes under mild conditions....
