Abstract: | Summary. A series of novel tridentate ligands with nitrogen and oxygen donor sites was synthesized starting from enantiomerically
pure (S)- and (R)-1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylamine, the preparation and resolution of which was developed. The new optically active ligands were
tested as in situ catalysts together with Ru(PPh3)3Cl2 in the enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone with isopropanol. The secondary amine ligand (S)-2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-(1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylamino)methylphenol gave the best results with almost quantitative conversion and 47%ee.
