Abstract

The first catalytic enantioselective synthesis of benzodiazepinones employing an efficient hydrogenation protocol has been developed. The corresponding products are obtained in good yields, with excellent enantioselectivities and broad functional group tolerance. In addition, a one-pot procedure involving in situ generation of benzodiazepin-2-ones followed by asymmetric reduction is presented.
