Abstract
Chiral γ-amino alcohols are prevalent structural motifs in pharmaceuticals. This paper details the design, synthesis, and evaluation of tridentate ferrocene-based phosphine ligands for iridium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of β-amino ketones, yielding diverse chiral γ-amino alcohols with high yields and enantioselectivities. Gram-scale reactions demonstrate the potential for industrial synthesis of chiral drugs like (S)-duloxetine, (R)-fluoxetine, and (R)-atomoxetine.
