H 2 ‐O‐T ! Aromatic O ‐heterocycles are a challenging substrates for asymmetric hydrogenation ( H 2 ). An in situ formed chiral N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ruthenium complex allows the high yielding, completely regioselective, and highly asymmetric hydrogenation of substituted benzofurans at room T emperature, giving valuable 2,3‐dihydrobenzofurans (see scheme).
