Computational insights on the mechanism of the catalytic hydrogenation with BINAP-diamine-Ru complexes: The role of base and origin of selectivity. Faza, O., Fernández, I., & López, C. Chemical Communications, 49(39):4277-4279, 2013.

In this work we show that a base is needed to generate the active catalyst through any of three different paths close in energy. The facial differentiation arises from steric interactions that induce a very asynchronous, non-pericyclic disfavored transition state. Catalyst regeneration takes place through two steps that avoid a forbidden pericyclic mechanism. © 2013 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
