A family of complexes of the formula <i>trans</i>-[RuCl<sub>2</sub>(L)(R-pybox)] (R-pybox = (<i>S</i>,<i>S</i>)-<i><sup>i</sup></i>Pr-pybox, (<i>R</i>,<i>R</i>)-Ph-pybox, L = monodentate phosphonite, PPh(OR)<sub>2</sub>, and phosphinite, L = PPh<sub>2</sub>(OR), ligands) were screened in the catalytic asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone, observing a strong influence of the nature of both the R-pybox substituents and the L ligand in the process. The best results were obtained with c ...[more]
