Abstract

The asymmetric hydrogenation of aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds arguably presents one of the most attractive methods for the synthesis of six-membered cyclic compounds. In recent years, a number of promising stereoselective methods for the asymmetric hydrogenation of pyridines and related heterocycles have been reported.
