Abstract
A novel chelated ferrocene‐based planar chiral N‐heterocyclic carbene‐Rh(I) complex was synthesized by a simple method. It was applied to the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of prochiral ketones. Enantioselectivities of up to 67% ee were observed. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
