The transition metal-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation (AH) of ketones to produce enantioenriched alcohols is an important reaction in organic chemistry with applications the pharmaceutical and agrochemical fields. Using earth-abundant, biorelevant cobalt as central metal catalyst has a high potential improve sustainability achieve reactions that are scalable. However, due d-electron count, designing catalysts exhibit turnover numbers (TONs, ≥1000) enantioselectivities (≥90%) sufficient for synthetic utility practical scalability (≥1 kg scale) remains challenge. In this work, efficient design strategy utilizing amino(imino)diphosphine Co(II) bromide precatalyst presented goal. quantitative production wide range secondary chiral TONs up 150,000 enantiomeric excess (e.e.) 99% at scale 1.35 was achieved, indicating proposed highly promising AH scale-up reactions. A mechanistic study revealed synergism N-H functionality redox-active ligand endows productivity excellent enantioselectivity.
