Key elements in this communication are a very efficient microwave synthesis of [RuCp(naphthalene)][PF₆], the precursor of [RuCp(CH₃CN)₃][PF₆], and a Pd-catalysed asymmetric hydrogenolysis to afford planar chiral ruthenium complexes with high levels of enantioselectivity using a bulky chiral phosphoramidite ligand.
