Popis: The DIPSkewphos/PICA derivative-Ru(II) complexes catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of significantly sterically hindered 2',3',4',5',6'-pentamethylacetophenone, which was not reduced with NaBH4 at 25 degrees C, with a substrate-to-catalyst molar ratio (S/C) of 2000 under 50 atm of H-2 in a base-containing 2-propanol to afford the alcohol in 99% ee quantitatively. A series of polysubstituted aromatic ketones was smoothly reacted with an S/C of 300-10,000 under 10-50 atm of H-2, yielding the alcoholic products in up to 99% ee. The catalyst system achieved an industrial-scale (50 kg) hydrogenation of 2',6'-dichloro-3'-fluoroacetophenone, affording the alcohol in 96% isolated yield and in 98% ee. The obtained alcoholic product is known as a key intermediate for the synthesis of the medicine crizotinib.
