Novel P2N4-donors containing chiral 22-membered macrocyclic ligands have been synthesized and the structures have been determined by an X-ray diffraction study. The catalytic systems in situ generated from triiron dodecarbonyl, Fe3(CO)12, and the chiral macrocyclic ligand exhibited high activity (TOF up to 1940 h−1) and excellent enantioselectivity with up to 99% ee in the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of various aromatic ketones.", pages = "818-822", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/bpl/adsc/2012/00000354/00000005/art00012", doi = "doi:10.1002/adsc.201100733" }
