An iron cluster catalyst with a chiral tetradentate P2N2 ligand was discovered to catalyze the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of N-diphenylphosphinylketimines. Subsequently the combination of a chiral Brønsted acid with a well-defined Shvo type iron complex creates an active catalyst which could hydrogenate a variety of N-aryl ketimines to amines using molecular hydrogen. Finally, an iron cluster catalyst was discovered to catalyze the reduction of amides with inexpensive PMHS. %L 35.69 %9 theses %9 Text %9 Hochschulschrift %U http://rosdok.uni-rostock.de/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-diss2011-0127-7 %U http://rosdok.uni-rostock.de/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-diss2011-0127-7&pdf %U http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-diss2011-0127-7
