This result indicates that iridium catalysts are also proficient in reducing alkenes bearing metal-coordinating groups. In the present system, selectivity was pressure-dependent: in most cases, a decrease in the H2 pressure to 3 bar resulted in an increase in enantioselectivity. Moreover, the process can be carried out in environmentally friendly solvents, such as methanol and Et acetate, with no loss of selectivity.5 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc (c) Salomó et al., 2016http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/esHidrogenacióCatàlisi asimètricaEnantiòmersHydrogenationEnantioselective catalysisEnantiomersinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6630242016-09-20info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess27186653
