Notes:
---The diastereoselective catalytic hydrogenation of β-keto sulfoxides in the presence of ruthenium complexes was studied. Optically pure β-keto sulfoxides were hydrogenated in the presence of achiral catalysts leading to moderate yields and stereoselectivities. Using chiral ruthenium catalysts such as [(R)-MeO-BIPHEPRuBr2] and [(S)-MeO-BIPHEPRuBr2], the hydrogenation proceeded in good yields with very high diastereoselectivity. Chirality at the secondary centre of the β-hydroxy sulfoxides produced was controlled by the catalysts.
