Ruthenium-catalysed asymmetric hydrosilylation of ketoximes using chiral oxazolinylferrocenylphosphines

Chem Commun (Camb). 2001 Nov 21:(22):2360-1. doi: 10.1039/b106435p.

Abstract

Chiral ruthenium(II) complexes, RuCl2(PPh3)(oxazolinylferrocenylphosphine), have been found to be effective catalysts for asymmetric hydrosilylation of ketoximes to give the corresponding primary amines in good yields with high enantioselectivities (up to 89% ee) after acid hydrolysis.
