= Noyori asymmetric hydrogenation
{wiki=Noyori_asymmetric_hydrogenation}
Noyori asymmetric hydrogenation is a chemical reaction developed by Japanese chemist Ryoji Noyori, which allows for the selective hydrogenation of prochiral ketones and other similar compounds to produce enantiomerically enriched alcohols. This reaction is particularly significant in the field of asymmetric synthesis, where the goal is to produce one specific enantiomer of a chiral product over the other.
