β¦ Synopsis
Water-soluble analogues of Noyori's (1S,2S)-N-(p-tolylsulfonyl)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine and Knochel's (1R,2R)-N-(p-tolylsulfonyl)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane, containing an additional sulfonic acid group, have been synthesised. The ruthenium catalysed reduction of aromatic ketones using enantiomerically pure catalyst derived from water soluble ligands and [RuCl 2 (pcymene)] 2 has been examined. High enantioselectivity and moderate activity were observed in the 2-propanol/base system. The addition of water is necessary to stabilise the catalyst.

A range of aromatic ketones was reduced asymmetrically under transfer hydrogenation conditions using enantiomerically pure catalysts derived from water-soluble diamine ligands and [Cp\*MCl 2 ] 2 (Cp\*=pentamethylcyclopentadienyl, M=Rh, Ir). High catalytic activity and enantioselectivity were observe
