Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of prochiral substituted benzo[<i>b</i>]thiophene 1,1-dioxides was successfully developed, affording various chiral 2,3-dihydrobenzo[<i>b</i>]thiophene 1,1-dioxides with high yields and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% yield and >99% ee). In particular, for challenging substrates, such as aryl substituted substrates with sterically hindered groups and alkyl substituted substrates, the reaction proceeded smoothly in our catalytic system with excellen ...[more]
