groups decreased both <strong>the</strong> enantioselectivities and <strong>the</strong> yields. Ortho substituted acetophenone<br />

derivatives(o-Cl, o-Me,o-OMe, o-F) which are known to be difficult substrates <strong>for</strong> reductive<br />

amination were reduced with high yields and high enantioselectivities using less sterically<br />

hindered catalysts. Aliphatic ketones were also tested and showed high ees and high yields<br />

with para-anisidine and with aniline. [46]<br />
