Abstract

Asymmetric hydrogenations are of great importance in the synthesis of optically active amines. This account highlights the development of the first metal-free transfer hydrogenation that is both highly enantioselective and inspired by natures dehydrogen?ase. Further focus is given to the extension of this bioinspired process to provide a variety of valuable, biologically active products and natural products under mild reaction conditions.
