This talk will feature aspects of metal catalysed asymmetric hydrogenation reactions for ketones including:i) Use of KOtBu with tetradentate ligands for hydrogenation.1ii) Iron-based catalysts with novel ligands for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation.2iii) Use of tethered ruthenium catalysts for asymmetric hydrogenation.3Related references:1) Walling, C. and Bollyky, L., J.
