Abstract

Nickel complexes ligated by strongly donating diphosphines catalyze enantioselective hydrogenation for the preparation of acyclic and cyclic β-amido esters. A combination of acetic acid and indium powder provides protons and electrons to form nickel hydrido complexes under umpolung hydrogenation conditions.
