Superior bicyclics : Iridium catalysts as 1 derived from pyridine–phosphinite ligands considerably extend the scope of asymmetric hydrogenation. In addition to various unfunctionalized and functionalized olefins, furans, and benzofurans, for which no catalysts were known before, are also hydrogenated with high enantioselectivity (see scheme).
