A highly efficient enantio- and diastereoselective catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation via dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR-ATH) of α,β-dehydro-α-acetamido and α-acetamido benzocyclic ketones to ent- trans-β-amido alcohols is disclosed employing a new ansa-Ru(II) complex of an enantiomerically pure syn- N, N-ligand, i.e. ent- syn-ULTAM-(CH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>3</sub>Ph. DFT calculations of the transition state structures revealed an atypical two-pronged substrate attractive stabilization eng ...[more]
