The (*) transfer" form of this process, which occurs when its source material is produced in the reaction mechanism instead of added separately, was pioneered by Ryoji Noyori.
A man who developed an enantioselective version of this process for the production of L-DOPA at Monsanto shared half of the 2001 Nobel in chemistry. That man, William Knowles, shared half of the prize with a Japanese chemist who used a catalyst consisting of the chiral ligand BINAP and ruthenium to accomplish this process asymmetrically. The (*) transfer" form of this process, which occurs when its source material is produced in the reaction mechanism instead of added separately, was pioneered by Ryoji Noyori. Heterogeneous catalysts for this process rely on chemisorption at active sites, creating surface hydrides. Both Crabtree's and Wilkinson's catalysts accomplish this process, which can turn an alkene into a saturated alkane. For 10 points, name this process whereby a compound is reacted with the lightest gas.
