Novel supramolecular palladium catalyst for the asymmetric reduction of imines in aqueous media.
    Organic letters, 2009, Aug-06, Volume: 11, Issue:15

    A novel approach to the asymmetric reduction of dihydro-beta-carboline derivatives to the corresponding tetrahydro-beta-carbolines is described based on the supramolecular lyophilized complex formed from beta-cyclodextrin/imines as an enzyme mimetic and palladium hydride as the reducing agent. The methodology allowed us to develop a short and efficient preparation of (R)-harmicine and (R)-deplancheine alkaloids in high overall yields and ee of 89 and 90%, respectively.
