Chiral diphosphine/1,2-diamine–Ru(II) complexes catalyse the rapid, productive and enantioselective hydrogenation of simple ketones. The carbonyl-selective hydrogenation takes place via a non-classical metal–ligand bifunctional mechanism. The reduction of the C=O function occurs in the outer coordination sphere of an 18e trans -RuH 2 (diphosphine)(diamine) complex without interaction between the unsaturated moiety and the metallic centre. The Ru atom donates a hydride and the NH 2 ligand delivers a proton through a pericyclic six-membered transition state, directly giving an alcoholic product without metal alkoxide formation. The enantiofaces of prochiral ketones are differentiated on the chiral molecular surface of the saturated RuH 2 species. This asymmetric catalysis manifests the significance of ‘kinetic’ supramolecular chemistry.

The direct addition of water to a carbon–carbon double bond remains a challenge, but such a reaction is essential for the development of efficient catalysts that enable direct access to chiral alcohols.

Chiral alcohols are important synthetic intermediates or building blocks for the diverse synthesis of drugs, agrochemicals, and natural products. Asymmetric reduction of prochiral ketones has been the most popularly investigated method for accessing chiral alcohols. In this regard, the organocatalyzed asymmetric reduction as a complementary of transition-metal- and enzyme-catalyzed reactions have attracted tremendous interest in the past decades due to the nature of metal-free and easy operation, as well as, principly, the ease of recovery and reuse of catalysts. Following up a comprehensive overview on organocatalyzed asymmetric reduction of prochiral ketones in early 2018, this short review is intended to summarize the recent progress in this area from the beginning of the year 2018 to the end of Aug. 2021.
