Progress in Asymmetric Heterogeneous Catalysis: Design of Novel Chirally Modified Platinum Metal Catalysts

Alfons Baiker
- 13 May 1997 - 
TL;DR: Based on the knowledge gained on the mechanism of the asymmetric hydrogenation of α-ketoesters, catalyzed by platinum modified with cinchona alkaloids, new efficient chiral auxiliaries have been developed and the scope of reactants has been extended as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Asymmetric Hydrogenation of Activated Ketones on Platinum: Relevant and Spectator Species

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of various species observed in the catalytic system of activated ketones over chirally modified platinum is reviewed with emphasis on identifying the roles of different species observed.
