Highly Enantioselective Iridium‐Catalyzed Hydrogenation of Cyclic Enamides

The MaxPHOX–Ir catalyst system provided the highest selectivity ever reported for the reduction of cyclic enamides derived from α‐ and β‐tetralones. This result indicates that iridium catalysts are also proficient in reducing alkenes bearing metal‐coordinating groups. In the present system, selectiv...
