Dgi. Petra et al., IR spectroscopy as a high-throughput screening-technique for enantioselective hydrogen-transfer catalysts, CHEM COMMUN, (8), 2000, pp. 683-684
A new high-throughput screening-technique based on IR spectroscopy has been
developed for ruthenium catalysed asymmetric transfer-hydrogenation by com
paring the reaction rate of the reduction of ketones using (R)- vs. (S)-sec
ondary alcohol as the hydrogen donor.
