A series of polysubstituted aromatic ketones was smoothly reacted with an S/C of 300-10,000 under 10-50 atm of H-2, yielding the alcoholic products in up to 99% ee. The catalyst system achieved an industrial-scale (50 kg) hydrogenation of 2',6'-dichloro-3'-fluoroacetophenone, affording the alcohol in 96% isolated yield and in 98% ee. The obtained alcoholic product is known as a key intermediate for the synthesis of the medicine crizotinib.Wiley-BlackwellJournal Articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/2115/75497https://eprints.lib.hokudai.ac.jp/dspace/bitstream/2115/75497/1/HUSCAP-MS-PolySubstKetone.pdf1867-3880ChemCatChem1018395539592018-09-20enginfo:doi/10.1002/cctc.201800848This is the peer reviewed version of the following article: ChemCatChem 10 (18) 3955-3959 2018-09-20, which has been published in final form at http://doi.org/10.1002/cctc.201800848.
