A new type of ferrocenyl P,P,N,N,O-ligand has been developed through a one-step transformation. This represents a rare example of a ligand containing both chiral bisphosphine and diamine groups suitable for ruthenium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation. Its ruthenium complex can be directly prepared by stirring the ligand and [Ru(benzene)Cl] at 90 °C in DMF for 4 hours. The catalyst showed high reactivity and enantioselectivity in the hydrogenation (AH) of simple ketones and α,β-unsaturated ketones, providing the corresponding chiral aryl alkyl alcohols and chiral allyl alcohols with up to 99% yield and 96% ee.

The homogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of benzo-fused heteroarenes generally provides partially hydrogenated products wherein the heteroaryl ring is preferentially reduced, such as quinoline hydrogenation, leading to 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline. Herein, we report a carbocycle-selective hydrogenation of fused -heteroarenes (quinoline, isoquinoline, quinoxaline, etc.) using the Ru complex of a chiral spiroketal-based diphosphine (SKP) as the catalyst, affording the corresponding 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro products in high chemoselectivities.

The first total synthesis of the pentacyclic phenylnaphthacenoid type II polyketide antibiotic formicamycin H is described. A key feature of the synthesis involves the convergent, regioselective assembly of the tetracyclic core via ruthenium-catalyzed α-ketol-benzocyclobutenone [4 + 2] cycloaddition. Double dehydration of the diol-containing cycloadduct provides an achiral enone, which upon asymmetric nucleophilic epoxidation and further manipulations delivers the penultimate tetracyclic trichloride in enantiomerically enriched form.

A ruthenium-catalyzed reductive amination via asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) has been used to perform an efficient dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of N-aryl 2-formyl pyrroles decorated with a phosphine moiety positioned at the ortho' position. The strategy relies on the labilization of the stereogenic axis in the substrate facilitated by a transient Lewis acid-base interaction (LABI) between the carbonyl carbon and the phosphorus center. The reaction features broad substrate scope of aliphatic amines and N-aryl pyrrole scaffolds, and proceeds under very mild conditions to afford P,N atropisomers in good to high yields and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99 % ee) for both diphenyl and dicyclohexylphosphino derivatives.

Tractable and commercially available esters (and amides) of β-hydroxypropionic acid serve as malonic semialdehyde proelectrophiles in enantioselective ruthenium-catalyzed hydrogen autotransfer crotylations mediated by butadiene. Through iterative asymmetric butadiene-mediated crotylations of ethyl 3-hydroxypropanoate, total syntheses of the polyketide natural products octalactin A and B were achieved in fewer steps than previously possible.
