Popis: ATH reductions of aliphatic ketones in water catalyzed by ruthenium coordinated by prolinamide ligands produce alcohols with moderate enantiomeric excesses in most cases. A set of seven aliphatic ketones is proposed for a rapid evaluation of the enantioselectivity of catalysts by one-pot multi-substrates reduction. The screening of a library of prolinamides shows that according to the structure of the ketones different ligands give the best asymmetric inductions.
