Polymer-supported chiral ligands 9 and 17 were prepared based on Noyori's (1S,2S)- or (1R,2R)-N-(p-tolylsulfonyl)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine. The combination with [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 has been shown to exhibit high activities and enantioselectivities for heterogeneous asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of aromatic ketones (19a-c) with formic acid-triethylamine azeotrope

By using (1R,2R)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine as a single enantiopure compound, we achieved a novel successive optical resolution of more than one kind of racemic compound through supramolecular crystallization.
