Asymmetric Hydrogenation

Finally we managed to do some tool design, thanks to Rachel. I mean, we have managed to make a customized high-pressure reactor for my one of the PhD project. Technically it can handle some 2000 psi of pressure at rt, but i need just around 500 psi. Its really a cool stuff.

To start with i will be doing some model enamide reductions using some known enamides, followed by my target compound.

Lets hope for the best.
