Title: Computational insights on the mechanism of the catalytic hydrogenation with BINAP–diamine–Ru complexes: the role of base and origin of selectivity
Abstract:In this work we show that a base is needed to generate the active catalyst through any of three different paths close in energy.

The facial differentiation arises from steric interactions that induce a very asynchronous, non-pericyclic disfavored transition state. Catalyst regeneration takes place through two steps that avoid a forbidden pericyclic mechanism.Read More
