Enantioselective hydrogenations with chiral titanocenes

Molecules. 2005 Jul 14;10(6):587-619. doi: 10.3390/10060587.

Abstract

In this review article chiral titanocenes and their application for the enantioselective hydrogenations of different unsaturated compounds are discussed, with a special emphasis on the kinetics and the practicality of the developed systems. The nature of enantioselectivity and the hydrogenation mechanisms are reviewed as well. Catalyst immobilization and the different immobilization techniques are examined.
