Vi. Tararov et al., On the reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones catalyzed by homogeneous Rh(I) complexes, CHEM COMMUN, (19), 2000, pp. 1867-1868
The homogeneously catalyzed reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones un
der smooth conditions is reported, showing for the first time, that Rh(i) c
atalysts based on chelating diphosphines and diphosphinites can be advantag
eously employed for this reaction, even for the production of chiral amino
acid derivatives.
