✦ Synopsis
Chlorosulfonylated polystyrene, a commodity resin, reacts with enantiopure 1,2-diamines to afford, in a single step, high loading catalytic resins involving monosulfonylated 1,2-diamino moieties. These functional polymers form stable (p-cymene)ruthenium chloride [RuClA C H T U N G T R E N N U N G (p-cymene)] complexes that efficiently catalyze (down to S/C = 150) the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of alkyl aryl ketones with formic acid-triethylamine under essential-ly solvent-free (down to 0.25 mL mmol À1 ) reaction conditions. Among these resins, the immobilized version of TsDPEN stands out as a most practical catalyst for ATH: Uniformly high enantioselectivities are achieved with its use at low catalyst loading, and the resin can be recycled with virtually no limits.

## Abstract Catalyst immobilization through covalent attachment onto a support is one strategy to provide recyclable systems. Here, soluble and surface‐functionalized solid polymers were used as supports for a modified tethered rhodium(III)‐__p__‐toluenesulfonyl‐1,2‐diphenylethylenediamine [Rh(III)
