## Abstract Herein we describe the synthesis of a new class of chiral phosphine‐oxazolines and their application as ligands in iridium‐catalyzed hydrogenations. Mechanistic aspects of olefin hydrogenation with this class of iridium catalysts are discussed and a selectivity model to help rationalize

Four ruthenium-N-heterocyclic carbene complexes (3-6) have been prepared and the new compounds characterized by C, H, N analyses, 1 H-NMR and 13 C-NMR. The reduction of ketones to alcohols via transfer hydrogenation was achieved with catalytic amounts of complexes 3-6 in the presence of t-BuOK.
## Abstract Mixed N‐heterocyclic carbene‐substituted phosphine and phosphite complexes of rhodium were prepared, starting from [Rh(COE)~2~Cl]~2~ (COE=cyclooctene) by addition of free N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) and PR~3~. All new complexes were characterized by spectroscopy. In addition, the stru
