Abstract
A chiral imidazolinium salt with two bulky carbohydrate subunits, N,N′‐1,3‐bis(methyl 4,6‐O‐benzylidene‐3‐deoxy‐α‐D‐altropyrano‐3‐yl)imidazolinium chloride (4), was synthesized in high yield. Deprotonation of 4 with sodium tert‐butoxide in the presence of [RhCl(COD)]~2~ produced NHC‐coordinated rhodium complex 5 along with water adduct 6 to a lesser extent depending on the moisture content of the reaction mixture. These compounds were fully characterized by IR, MS, and ^1^H and ^13^C{^1^H} NMR spectroscopy.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2007)

## 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, L
