Abstract

Abstract The transfer hydrogenation of 2‐substituted bicyclic and monocyclic ketimines using HCO2H/ Et3N as the hydrogen source and TsDPEN‐based Ru(II) and Ir(III) catalysts proceeds with dynamic kinetic resolution to afford the corresponding cis‐cycloalkylamines with moderate to excellent levels of diastero‐ and enantioselectivity. A “one‐pot” procedure starting from ketones as starting materials with in situ formation of the reacting imines has also been developed.
