Going through the proper channels : A highly active and enantioselective heterogeneous asymmetric catalyst was fabricated by confining Pt nanoparticles that are modified with cinchonidine within the channels of carbon nanotubes. A high turnover frequency (TOF) and enantioselectivity are achieved when using this catalyst for the asymmetric hydrogenation of α‐ketoesters.
